yes, and no chanel catfish will spawn in a pond but they need a cavity to nest in if you want them to spawn try puting in some 55 gallon drums with the open end pointed towards the deep end of the pond just make sure the 55 gallon drums weren't holding something toxic before you put them in the pond. bob lusk has some very facinating videos on raising channel catfish and other species i don't know how to make a link but maby someone knows how.
