CC dont usually spawn until they are 2.5-3 years old and that means they are probably 4-6 lbs. 5gallon buckets are too small, think more like 55 gallon blue barrels.

SRAC has lots of articles on raising, breading and managing fish. While it's written more for the commercial grower lots of information a hobbyist can glean
