What happens in the movie catfish?
WARNING: Spoiler alert.
So basically the new indie film flavor of the week, Catfish, is being marketed in trailers as some kind of horror flick.
It's not.
If you are looking for a full spoiler explaining what happens in greater detail, check out the totally competent review over on IFC's site sometime.
But basically, here's what happens in this faux documentary movie: the girl he has a crush on turns out to be a bored, soft spoken housewife who tends full-time to two profoundly disabled sons.
She manufactures her happy life, flirtatious personality, and bohemian family members to escape, not expecting to meet one of her Internet pen pals in person.
So... A bit creepy, sure, but not by any stretch of the imagination terrifying.
Mostly just sad, and all too human. Trust nothing you read online, unless it's on Outlaw, of course.
Can a catfish whisker go into you?
Yes, a catfish can fin you. The two pectoral fins and dorsal fin have long, hooked spines that dig into skin, excreting venom that may produce extreme pain, necrosis and vasoconstriction (Tightening of the blood vessels). The vasoconstriction is present to slow down the speed at which the venom moves, thus enabling it to be more concentrated and potent. Also, catfish fins house bacteria, and a high risk of infection is present. However, despite all these risks, catfish finning is not usually fatal. Although there are a few cases of large catfish stabbing into a heart with their spines. Some smaller species of catfish's venom are fatal, such as the Striped Eel Catfish. Smaller and/or marine catfish tend to have more virulent stings, where as larger freshwater catfish tend to cause extreme pain and swelling.
Well it depends on the type of catfish. The mudcats just grow until they ate 3-5 pounds. Then the channel catfish that can grow to 2 pounds in just a year. Then there are blue catfish and yellow catfish that can grow from a fingerling to a full- sized adult (75-130 pounds) in just 6 weeks. They'll eat anything so they don't really have a guildline to what to eat so they'll get big. Hope this helped.

Catfish and Tuna rarely (if ever) live in the same areas, so no they don't.
You could try putting it in a fish tank (Larger type) and giving it an enviorment such as one like the place you caught it. For me, we have catfish in our lake, so you could try keeping it in a tank that is cold and let the algae grow a bit. Then, you could just feed it fish flakes.
