What is the life cycle of a catfish?
Male blowfish push their females to the water surface to breed. The eggs float and hatch after roughly 4 days. In their first 10 days, larvae are covered with a hard shell, with metamorphosis into a true fish occurring in about 3 weeks. 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...

How long can a Cory catfish live out of water?
This koi lived 4 hours out of the pond --
Today is 12/5/2009 and I found one of my koi on the driveway when I got home at 7 pm. I picked him up, ready to put him in a zip lock bag for the garbage and noticed him move his mouth. I squeezed him and put him back in the pond. I put him between two nets and squeezed a few times and he moved a little more. He is alive!!
I went to my video camera to see when he left the water and it was 3 pm in the afternoon !! That was 4 hours !! I will check how well he is doing in the morning. But before I went to bed he had joined the rest of the fish and looked well. It was a Heron who lifted him out and dropped him. He was flopping for about a minute or two and then lay still. My camera is about 25 feet away and cannot zoom. The Heron just walked away and left him. Why? I have no idea.
The temperature of the air and water was in the mid thirties. I believe that was the factor that kept the koi alive. The group of koi 50+ that I have are beginning to go into their winter hibernation at the bottom of the pond. When the temperature goes below 40 degrees they begin to crowd together at the bottom of the pond. Today is 12/9/2009 and the injured koi is still fine -- just a few scratches and pokes from the Heron.
Well done. It's always good to hear of a successfull outcome and good luck to the fish through winter.
