First, breed a cat with a fish... Then plant it in the ground in spring, and water it daily...

Fry and fingerlings are not raised on artificial ponds, they are raised on tanks, pools or man made habitat.\n\nControling the water pH, air and salinity. You will need some equipment to do this, try starting with small handheld before investing on larger-expensive equipments.\n\nAeration is important, making sure that there is enough oxygen in the water. Water source being pump into tank at regular rate to avoid build up of unwanted gas, yes fish inhale oxygen and expel gas.\n\nFeeds are also important, you can either buy, or make, making feeds, you will need knowhow.\n\nFinally, there is a ratio on how many fry/fingerling to a certain size of tanks.

OK a'lot of u don't no anything about catfish! It just depends on what catfish your dealing with and the conditions.  Some catfish in Africa can survive months without water, walking catfish have the capability of breathing oxygen (Bowfin are like this as well) they have something like a lung and this lung has chambers capable of taking in oxygen.  But these fish still need water in order to survive. I was fishing and caught these bullheads (small catfish) we accidently forgot one and this was in the afternoon when I returned the following day around 5-6pm it was still breathing I placed it back into the water and swimmed away.  CONDITIONS: The ground has to be moist or wet/muddy (keeps them cool) and theres a small amount of oxygen in the rain drops, moist ground, or mud.  If it's sunny and hot these fish wont live long (due to the slime drying out) and the slime makes them swim fast/quicker, scent (to find mates), and protects from diseases/viruses.

I would say no, since dogfish are a marine (salt water) 'fish' & catfish are fresh water fish

Live shrimp are your best bet, try some cut bait in the bottom

The kind they love to bite....lol...   Okay, I'm sorry. But that was funny wasn't it...lol...\n\nNow seriously, most catfish love an easy meal and thier olfactory nerve is better than most fish.  This isn't to say that it's all they use... but most spieces of catfish like some smell, eud de fish funk!!  Chicken livers and blood baits are common, but shad give off a great oil that channel and blue cats both love.  Personally, I use brim that are about hand sized and I back hook them.... right ahead of the dorsal fin... and chicken quarters.... both on 0000 stainless steel hooks.... Granted I am going after big.... no I mean really big cats on the Cape Fear River.... 45 plus pounds.\n I have found that most are the most active at night.... usually between midnight and sunrise... we catch more and larger fish in the wee hours that we do at any other time.\n\nHappy Cattin'!!

fishin, now thats what Im talkin bout... I reccomend usin power bait for trout, those are hard lil buggers to catch... also another thing I do before I park the boat to cast my pole, I dump a lil bit of that power bait crap right off the side of the boat Im fishin on to get em up near the boat so I can see em, then I catch one... also beef jerky is great for catching trout and catfish... hope this helps... y'all take it easy

You should try a 3/8 ounce jig head , Texas rig a power worm (color:tequila sunrise) and jig it on the bottom near timber....this will give the worm a fairly slow sink rate and you will get lots of bites while the worm is sinking\n\nTry to use some Rapala baits, preferably the X-RAP, gold and silver colors work the best. Husky jerks work well in spawning bass beds and weeds.\n\nAnother tip is to use a a white tube with red glitter( Venom brand) and inset a 1/16 tud insert weight and jig that on the bottom...but don't push that tube weight all the way up. by doing this that tube twitches more and attracts more fish..also use some liquid powerbait bass attractant with that.\n\nBuzzbaits work very good. so des berkley gulp!\n\nlive shiners...never fail\n\nplastic frogs work very well as a topwater bait.

no you can find this at any feed store it's just chicken feed . where it is illegal in  some states to bait fish like that most peoples just buy a bag of chicken feed punch hole in the bag and tie it up in a burlap bag so it seep slowly out into the water and you just go back the next day to that fishing hole and man you have never had so much fun fishing .

I think Lake Worth in Fort Worth had one but not sure if it is still operating.\n\nCame back to edit. Lake Worth had a hatctery and still might. There was a small catfish farm on Whitesettlement Roed where you payed to catch their catfish but I am pretty sure it is now gone. Was more like a large farm tank.\n\nCall Ben at Lake Park Marine in Lewisville as he may know if any are around there. 972-436-8422.

If you are talking about breeding fish to sell them, try breeding fancy guppies. They come is a wide variety of colors that are just stunning. They range in price from $3 - $5 depending on the sex. I can't remember which costs more.\n\nBut you will want to pair 1 male guppy to every 2 female guppies.\n\nHere are some sites that may help you.\nhttp://www.theaquarians.net/ArticlesandWallpapers/guppy_breedingfor_extperts.htm\nhttp://www.aquariacentral.com/articles/guppies.shtml\nhttp://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/breeding/guppybreeding.html\nhttp://www.aquarticles.com/articles/breeding/Homrich_Breeding_Guppy.html

Catfish usually love the stinkiest (and nastiest) bait you can find.  I've always had alot of luck with chicken livers.
