Thanks for the advice, I will put him in over summer so its not too much of a shock. Thanks again

Hi all, I currently have a 7 inch channel catfish in a 7 foot x 2.5 foot x 2.5 foot tank. I've had him about 10 months and during this time he has been kept at about 23-24 degrees Celsius. I have a friend who has a fairly large extremely well filtered pond 15 foot x 9 foot x 4 foot deep. My question ...

Thank you very much, that does look like it.

I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures, I had to use my phone. I got this fish today as when I seen it in the shop it was hidden apart from its head and I thought it was clarias batrachus in the wild form colours...something I had been looking for for a while ...
