Wels catfish

Got my self this beast, (silurus glanis) he is at 50cm.
6 hours road trip without any water at all, just some ice to keep him cool...that was the fisherman's advice, i didn't agreed in th beginning but it worked!
He is in my coldwater pond, enjoy:

Thanks Kev

No water...just ice??? That's crazy!

I know right?!
But yeap, i was as surprised as you are mate!
But i wasn't in the trip, a friend brought it to me.
The fisherman said that he is not going to last without oxygenfor 6 hours, so the best you have to try is without any water at all, just with a bag of ice next to him to keep the fish cool.
And he maid it, 6 hours with absolutely no problem!
I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it!
So, if your wels cat jump out of his tank, get it back in even after hours and he'll be fine lol!

Pond is 800 gallons, working half full cause i have a scratch in the liner about in the middle, so is double but i can't fill it top.
Only tankmates i am looking for him right now is some northern pikes (esox lucius), hope i can get some very soon, same size or bigger of course.

That is my dream right there. Hopefully I can get one someday. I'd like to see some updates in the future.
