This is a male channel catfish that is about 4 years and 9 months old. He weighs 5 lbs. He is in his own 300 gallon stock tank with its own filtration system and a low water alarm connected to my cellphone. There is an 800W heater to help keep the water at 80F. The outside of the tank is insulated with foiled type bubble wrap and it is sitting on styrofoam insulation panels so it has been very easy to keep the temperature at 80F. I have not been able to get the females to successfully produce eggs. They are in a separate container.
