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 catfish bite when its cold and rainy?

Generally speaking, fishing can be excellent in the rain for many species. Not only is the sun covered up by clouds, but the surface of the water is broken up by the rain drops. This often makes fish less weary and more eager to roam around and feed. The barometric pressure drop before and during a storm front can also trigger fish to feed heavily. Rain also causes additional food and prey to wash into the water, especially near areas of heavy runoff, like a creek mouth or ocean inlet.

Can a koi fish live in the same tank as a catfish?

It depends on the catfish. if it is a small catfish ( 1-5 inches) sometimes the angelfish will try to eat it. if it is a medium sized catfish (6-9inches) you will be fine. BUT if you get a large catfish (10 inches and over) it will terrorize your angelfish by nipping at the angelfishes fins and if big enough will eat it. some of the catfish you can mix is a Cory catfish, Redtail catfish, upside down catfish and rubber lip catfish but that is all. Another thing is you should get the fish when they are young because angelfish are territorial.

one last thing is that to mix the two fish you should get a tank 25 gallons or over or they will be too crammed and die even though 25 gallons is pretty large angelfish can grow up to 10 inches and all of the catfish that can mix can grow up to 7 inches

Male blowfish push their females to the water surface to breed. The eggs float and hatch after roughly 4 days.

As the blowfish fry mature, they move closer to the shore and become adults. Blowfish live from 5 to 10 years.

The blue catfish is the largest species of catfish in the United States,the largest on record currently is 130 lbs and a length of 5 feet, though there are unconfirmed reports from mostly souther rivers/lakes/ponds of 150-180 lbs. and 5.5 feet - 6 feet in length...

Catfish have no teeth,they have upper and lower bone plates in the mouth that are like sand paper,ideal for grasping and holding prey.

A large 130-150 lb 5-6 foot long Blue cat (with a mouth of 10-12 inches) would have no problem grasping an adult humans hand,forearm or foot and drowning them in the water...A blue cat of this size would also have no problem drowning a child in the same manor...

There have been no reported deaths in the US by Catfish,however there have been reports of adults and children who have been bitten on the feet,legs or hands when they unknowingly swim,wade or place hands into areas where the blue cats are spawning...
