WHOA
My friend bought one and he only has a ten gallon!
Are there any other fish that are around 7 inches that are active that could be kept in a ten or twenty gallon aquarium?

You want a 7 inch fish in a 20 gallon? That's even way too big...

And tell your friend to get rid of the channel cat.

We have stories in Texas about those fish, except they are called "man eating catfish."

I agree Pokefan. Some fish are for keeping and some are for eating and a channel cat is def for eating (with hushpuppies and slaw of course lol).
