Sounds like a good set-up for this fish - if you feed it on pink banana extract it will stop the fish from getting bigger than 4" and turn his tail blue.

If the fish is already bigger than 4" feed it on honeyberries in yaks milk and the fish will decrease in size :d

You do know this was an April Fools' Day post, right? Hard to tell if you are serious or just playing along.

On a side note, right after the cameraman took that picture, the catfish lunged to the left and ate the McRib® sandwich right out of his hand. b-)
