Catfish

It was caught in Thailand weighing 646 pounds

Catfish find their food overwhelmingly by smell - they have very poor eyesight. When fishing for catfish, the most foul smelling, disgusting bait you can come up with will give you the best results, as a rule.

Fish is kind of an iffy question when it comes to pregnancy. The reason women are typically advised not to eat fish during pregnancy is because the amount of mercury that are found in fish. But it is usually not too big of a deal unless you are consuming fish that eat other fish. I know that catfish are bottom feeders and do occasionally eat fish but I think you are safe. Here are some articles that discuss eating catfish during pregnancy if you would like to find out for yourself!

Channel Catfishes average weight as an adult is 4.4 lbs

Yes if the other fish can fit into its mouth! My catfish recently ate the 5" cichlid in the 90G tank. The cichlid was a little bit larger than the catfish when I first bought it (about 4") about 1.5 year ago, now the catfish is 9".

Well there are quite a few. But to name one, the most famous. The most popular specie is 'The Stephanie'. The Stephanie is a specie known to be fat, greedy and to be honest, not a great looker. They are orange with blue tails, yellow feet and red heads. They are known to feast on a specie of field mouse called 'The Izzy'.

A giant Mekong catfish caught in northern Thailand in May 1, 2005 and reported to the press almost 2 months later that weighed 293 kilograms (650 lb).

My betta is to picky to eat anything other than the green food out of a tropical fish food thing, and so he just leaves all the other food alone.But my guess is if they eat anything that wasnt made for fish theyll get sick!!

There are many fish in the catfish family, but here is a list of selected common species; Blue catfish-Ictalurus Furcatatus, Channel catfish-Ictalurus Punctatus, White catfish-Ameiurus Catus, Flathead Catfish-Pylodictis Olivaris.

the biome of a far far away place with fairy's a princesses :) have a nice day yall

the two unusual abilities that a clarias catfish has is:

it can live out of water for a long time

it lacks pigment

(weird, but that's all i can find)

The best bait is chicken liver but in Florida you need minnows.

The catfish has a good sense of smell. The baits that are the most effective are called "stinkbaits" because they give off a strong scent. Typically, mackerel is used as a cut bait because the fish gives off oils. Man-made baits often include bloods of various types, garlic and some flour to bind the combination together.

I recently discovered that in the rivers around N E Ohio catfish LOVE hotdogs.

I use chicken liver but i have used a bettle spin and have suprisingy caught 2 on them. One of the best bait is at Walmart is lil stinker or chicken blood and liver

no fresh water i catch them in my lake all the time. One time i caught one and put in a bucket with water to show it to my friend i forgot about the fish and go inside the next day its gone and like 3 days latter i find it in the Conner of my house like in a small puddle like 50ft away from the bucket.

Yes. Only female catfish. Males do not give birth obviously.

First you are naming 3 different species,

Blue
Channel
Shovelhead/Flathead

Catfish are scavengers and if the shovel is small enough and the channel is big/hungry enough I would say Yes.

Catfish are generally large freshwater fish with whiskers used for feeling for food and smelling in the water.

Fish actually don't sleep, they go into this resting potion but don't sleep.

About 18 minutes wrapped in foil

No.Although both are basically bottom feeders, catfish form their own family of fishes, ranging from the tiny six inch madtoms, to the gigantic wels of Europe, over 400 pounds. Carp are members of the minnow family.

While the best catfish bait is something natural to the area (I.E. worms dug from the ground nearby, grasshoppers, and perch from the water itself.) Making your own bait is always an option. My dad used strawberry pop and wheaties mixed together into dough balls I've found rotten wheat grain to be the best natural stink bait. I worked at a grain elevator loading barges and the port specifically around our dock was loaded with catfish. An old man turned me on to it and its the best artificial bait I've ever tried out of about 100 different tips.

If the catfish has a strong fishy smell, it has gone bad. You can also tell by looking at it, if you see areas that appear discolored, it is likely bad. Finally, press on it, fresh fish should bounce back and not feel squishy.

That really depends on the species of the catfish, since they can grow to different sizes. Some can grow to at least 7 feet long and weigh a hefty 500 lbs (more or less), and others only grow up to 8 to 10 inches and weigh only a few lbs.

Several species of Catfish are actually equipped with rudimentary lungs. These lungs allow these specific catfish to "gulp" air from the surface of the water and survive even if the water is not aerated.

If you want to sex a catfish, look at the dorsal fin. The male's fins are brighter in color and larger.
