Any of the trucks coming to NC gonna carry Albino cats this year? I could ship them in if someone was willing and the cost was right.

put it this way. I let 3 koi go 7 - 9 inches and watched them swin out and turn and run like h_ll.... one got blasted along the bank, one I watched panic then a golden flash then no more orange fish, and one just disapeared... so if you guage that and consider cats are skinnier and bass like to eat them, they prob need to be pretty big. maybe letting them go in the winter might help.

Gotcha Joey...some guy on e-bay is selling 6-8 inch albino cats, but from what you are saying it looks like they'd be at the funeral parlor pretty quick after releasing them. I was kind of surprised quite a few albino Tilapia seemed to make it in my pond last summer. Albino Catfish - e-Bay

10" seems to be a size where you can expect reasonable survival rates in ponds with reasonably sized bass. Now if you have 10 pound LMB lurking, all bets are off. HAHA There are a few internet sources for albino CC. Some cheaper than others, some are just outrageous in price.

The
Fish Wagon had 10-12" albino cats last year.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Farleys was the best... they always had them for a few cents more then regular cats. Most the people who are selling got the price jacked up. I want like 100 babies there is no way i am paying a few bucks a fish.. I like to be able to kinda see them in the pond, you always know where the cats are hanging if there albinos.
