Channel cats get to be like 20-30 pounds lol. What size is your tank? Sounds interesting.
Finally reached 6 tanks... oh god, this addiction is getting serious. 75g mbuna tank, 65g gold severum, 55g OB peacock breeding colony, 30g(36x18) growout, 20 long Dwarf Alto's, 10g fry tank.
If I die young bury me in... An 8x2x2 with versa tops and a large sump for adequate filtration;)

If I'm right and this is a channel cat, a 120g isn't going to cut it. This is one of those true monster fish that the average aquariast simply does not have the means to provide a proper home for.
I'd want someone else to confirm or deny my ID, though.300 gallon mega tank: build in progress

95% sure it is a channel, my lfs sells them, it is a pond fish or at least a 500-600 gallon tank, and that is just to house it, thats not even big enough for him to live luxourious. lord the filer on that tank lol, 4x fx5s lol the are messy, if ya have a pond or raise it on the 125 till it is plate size, lmao

Yeah he is messy and growing fast, he has at least grown 3-4" in six months, he gets mad at me and swims so fast he almost shakes the tank. I got him for free and he is gorgeous, i just have the feeling he will have to go.
I already got rid of my blue cat and he was bigger than the albino.
