My new Albino channel catfish.

[Conner]

Just got this from the store today for $13. He's about 8" long, and VERY yellow, I though. What do you guys think?

Very nice Channel.
Makes me wish I had an Albino one instead of the regular.

I think he likes the bubbles.

 

[Conner]

Yeah

Unfortunately the pike cichlid has been harassing him since I put him in. Hopefully she calms down and leaves him alone (she likes to make sure every new fish in the tank knows that SHE's the boss...).

They're very common, but that one is YELLOW. They are usually a much more muted gold/pink. Someone just brought in a nice 24"+ albino to the hatchery where I used to work. He had a pretty bad case of fungus, but hopefully he makes it and they can have a nice display fish

nice!!

theres a regular on about 8" at my lfs, was thinking about picking him up

they get so big though haha

sweet fish

 

[fishmamma]

Very pretty!!! How many gallons is he/she in???

 

[Conner]

Thanks guys, I thought the yellow was pretty unique looking, which is why I had to buy it when I saw it. I just hope it keeps the bright yellow color as it gets bigger.

It's in a 125g tank for now. I'm planning for either a 220-265g glass tank next summer, or building a 300g+ plywood tank next summer. Either way, it should have plenty of room (or I'll dig a pond in the yard, and have an excuse to get even more big fish ).
