Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) are the most common catfish specials of North America. Commonly referred to as the “channel cat”, because of the sensory barbels or “whiskers” around the mouth. They are pale gray/blue in color with scattered dark spots. All catfish are sold as an ornamental species and not for human consumption. Catfish can range in size from 3" to 5". We measure from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and the fish can fall anywhere in the ordered size range. Please note the pictures shown above are a good representation of our fish, but not the exact fish you will receive.
RESTRICTIONS: Catfish are restricted from being shipped into IL, IN, MI, MN, NY, OH, PA, WI. It is the buyers responsibility to check all restrictions in their state and county. These catfish are not for human consumption.
