It'll grow way to big for your 20gallon.

pokefan · 04-16-2008, 01:04 AM

lol, I would hope they would have enough sense not to ask about that for a 20g!

Those things need ponds....not an aquarium. They get feet long.

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?

Ikermalli you have this up in 2 spots.

**Fishfirst** · 04-16-2008, 02:54 AM

Are you serious?? Do you even know what a Channel Cat is? Like JOM said these things become monsters!

**Scuba Kid** · 04-16-2008, 03:43 PM

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."

pokefan · 04-16-2008, 06:34 PM

Though it's probably sacreligious to talk about on this forum they do make some good eatin'!

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).

it4lian · 04-18-2008, 10:37 PM

God catfish is good lol. Yeh tell your friend to get rid of that thing ASAFP. They get frickin huge. Caught a 3 foot long one out on Lake Lavon or however you spell it.

**JustOneMore20** · 04-18-2008, 11:49 PM

It REALLY disturbs me that they sell these things in pet stores. Same with alot of fish like these though that should NEVER be kept in a fish tank.

Mrs I <3 Fish · 04-18-2008, 11:58 PM

Yep, makes me think of a long time ago when I bought a red belly pacu... Grrrr!!
