Catfish in Pond (Ireland) ?
A friend has 2 catfish in an indoor aquarium which he has to dispose of.
Wondering would it be ok to put them into my outdoor pond here in Ireland, they are about 6" long and my pond is about 1200 imp gallons (5000 litres) with about 20 fish already in it - Golden Orfes about 5", Goldfish,Shabunkins and Comets ranging between 2" and 4" long.

What sort of Catfish are we talking about? Coldwater or Tropical? Red Tailed Catfish, Wells, Corydoras sp, Whiptail Catfish, Callichthys sp, Spiney Catfish, Pimelodus sp, .....etc. If it's Wells then yes they will be Ok but wait untill the water temperatures are about the same before moving them. They will eventually get big and nasty and eat everything else in the pond. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK
