[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 690124, member: 43"] I started out with a decent sized tank (pond) with channel cats and hybrid bluegills. Now I have a catfish mudhole. Soon I'll have a catfish dustbowl. :mad: Send rain, in large quantities! Your weather in Tenn. might make it a bit too difficult or expensive to keep the water temperature at the desired level, but if you've got a closed barn or garage available and some inexpensive means of heating you might want to look into raising tilapia. As I recall, they grow really fast in a "farmed" scenario, something like going from fingerling to table in about half a year or less. I toyed with raising them since I think they are pretty decent eating if really fresh, but with only outdoor water, even in my area along the gulf coast the risk of death from low water temperatures is too high. If my memory is correct, they need water temperatures not much colder than 80 degrees. [/QUOTE]
