Catfish Hunter.

The name was most likely derived from the nickname of a famous baseball pitcher who was one of only 17 players (at the time the movie was made) to pitch a perfect game (May 8, 1968, against the Minnesota Twins). Hunter played for the Kansas City/Oakland Athletics from 1965-1974, then for the Yankees from 1975-1979. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1987.

What eats the channel catfish?

Flathead catfish commonly know as "yellow cat" or "mud cat" are predatory fish and will consume bass, bream, shad, crayfish and will often feed on it's own kind. The young rely more extensively on aquatic insects and crayfish than do the adults. Large flatheads sometimes congregate where food is plentiful such as near tail races of dams. They often feed at the surface or in shallow water at night, returning to their residence in a hole or brush pile to rest during the day. They rarely eat dead or decaying matter. That's all I know. Hope I helped:)

Do Cory catfish eat veggies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Corydoras as a species are omnivorous. They will eat most things but they will not eat the same things (eg zucchini) that a vegetarian fish like a Pleco will eat. Corys really enjoy a good feed of live tubifex.
