Interesting points Cecil. It is my understanding that Channel Cats (and I assume other catfish) can sustain liver damage when fed the higher protein feeds used for finned fish such as BG and LMB.

Of course, if they are being raised as a put and take table food, there should be no concerns regarding their long term health.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
