The catfish in the contaminated cooling pond may be large due to several factors, including the availability of abundant food sources in the pond, which allows them to grow more quickly. Additionally, the warmer water temperatures in cooling ponds can accelerate their growth rates. Lastly, reduced competition and predation in a controlled environment may contribute to the larger size of these fish.
Catfish reproduce in a pond by laying eggs that are fertilized externally. The male catfish releases sperm to fertilize the eggs laid by the female catfish. The fertilized eggs then hatch into baby catfish, known as fry, which grow and develop in the pond.
The cooling pond at Chernobyl is home to several species of fish, including carp, catfish, and roach. These fish have adapted to the radioactive environment, although they are subject to contamination. The presence of fish in the cooling pond has drawn attention from researchers studying the effects of radiation on ecosystems. Despite the radiation levels, these fish have managed to thrive in this unique habitat.
Yes, catfish can reproduce in a pond environment. They typically lay eggs in nests that are built by the male catfish, and the eggs hatch into fry that grow into juvenile catfish.
One way to tell if there are catfish in a pond is by observing their behavior, such as seeing them swimming near the surface or feeding at the bottom. Additionally, you may notice catfish nests or burrows along the shorelines, which can indicate their presence in the pond.

It would be too cold.
Catfish eat whatever is available, worms, fish, crayfish and any type of aquatic life they can find, they are not picky eaters.
Depends on the size of pond, what region you are in and what type of fish you are stocking what size fry you buy. Assuming a small pond with blue gill, catfish, small in size about $300-500.00.
If I remember correctly, the Bumble bee catfish are more of a tropical fish and need a more controlled & warmer water temp. In your ornamental pond, I am assuming that you are going to be adding fancy goldfish which love cold water.
Large albino channel catfish are not strictly vegetarian; they are omnivorous and typically eat a diet that includes both plant and animal matter. In a small pond with small bluegill, they may consume smaller fish, insects, and other aquatic organisms, along with any available plants. Therefore, while they may graze on vegetation, their diet will primarily consist of available protein sources.
