not big enough for dinner.

2/13/2008 11:45:09 AM

Make a great appetizer!

What kind of cat? He might go great in my predator tank with my bicher and Rafal cat. He's big enough to not be bothered by the others

2/13/2008 12:25:43 PM

channel catfish? if yes, just release it in lake johnson. If it's something else, I can give it a home.

2/13/2008 12:39:40 PM

Not sure on the type of catfish it is. Let me email the guy I got it from and do some google research. If neither of those give me a species or whatever, I'll take pics tonite. Thanks for the interest.

UPDATE: The owner isn't sure what type of catfish it is, and from the pictures I saw online, it doesn't look like a channel catfish.

if it has black dots on whitish body, it's probably a channel cat.

2/13/2008 1:20:01 PM

I was thinking it was a medium gray in color with lighter spots (maybe brownish or something). I drew a little sketch of it's overall body shape, haha.

sounds like a channel cat to me

2/13/2008 1:39:13 PM

free willy!

2/13/2008 2:07:50 PM

Don't think that's a channel cat. Do they have a long fin on the underside of their belly near the tail, with a smaller, shorter fin directly in front of the long one?

it looks more like the algae eating type.

2/13/2008 2:37:43 PM

Yeah, it looks very much like a "pleco".



Anyone interested?

^ I had a couple of those guys when I was a kid.. One went missing and I thought he was just hiding amongst the rocks and stuff... Found just the end of his tail in the pipe that fed water to my water fall/filter... He had gotten sucked up and the fan that sucks the water up into the pipe had chopped him up

2/13/2008 3:59:14 PM

I'm interested if you can post an actual pic of the fish.

2/13/2008 4:09:45 PM

Yeah, no problem. I can do it after work tonite...like 6pm or so.

2/13/2008 4:12:06 PM

Boom goes the dynamite

2/13/2008 5:58:09 PM

He would be great for my tank. I don't really have any money but I'm happy to pick him up if nobody else wants him.

2/13/2008 8:49:44 PM

makes me wish i had a tank again

2/13/2008 8:55:16 PM

^^well he's free. Let me know soon though, a bunch of people have responded on craigslist.

2/14/2008 8:57:40 AM
