I remember eating catfish my Dad caught when we lived in Louisiana, they are tasty!KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638226193979502076.post-4537448203409368452009-09-17T08:00:35.157-07:002009-09-17T08:00:35.157-07:00That is a lot of rain, but my Mom's county had...That is a lot of rain, but my Mom's county had more on her birthday weekend (10-12 inches in 24 hours)!<br />I guess I like catfish the most because that was what we caught growing up. We have caught some whoppers! I remember my dad pulling a 42 pounder out of his tank one Easter. I love the taste of tilapia and I think they are catching on around here. I usually don't buy it in the store because all I can find are farm raised ones from other countries. I wonder if I can raise both in the same tank? I have to do some research..<br />It takes about 1 1/2-2 years until the catfish are a good eating size, which is around 3 pounds. We get them when they are six inches long, so they actually grow fast. Let me know if your son-in-law has any luck.Southern Comforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191024327522060883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638226193979502076.post-88310914310531643412009-09-16T15:05:40.860-07:002009-09-16T15:05:40.860-07:00Wow, that is a lot of rain, even by Pacific Northw...Wow, that is a lot of rain, even by Pacific Northwest standards. <br /><br />How long does it take to get catfish started and thriving? This is very interesting. Have you checked into Tilapia at all? Around here raising Tilapia at home has been promoted and it is for sale in all the supermarkets. My son-in-law would eventually like to raise them , but as of now I don't know anyone who raises catfish or tilapia.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.com
