Catfish: free to a good home.

growing its surroundings. This fish has taken to bullying and chasing
its smaller inmates (goldfish), selling drugs and listening to loud
music. We don't want to have to put it in solitary or 'get rid of it' so
we'd prefer to give it to someone who'd like it and perhaps rehabilitate
it to normal fish tank life. Its a couple of years old, about 4 inches
long and very healthy, almost too healthy. If anyone in the Edinburgh
area is interested and would like to take it off our hands, please
e-mail me.

What nationality is the one that's being offered. Does it originally hail
from Louisiana?

Drop it into the fishponds at the Chambers St museum, where it would be
bullied by big thugs of catfish and have small children throwing coins at
it.

But the cajuns make everything taste delicious.
Catfish are the ones which eat the bacteria which grows on the poops of
other fish - at least the small ones in fish tanks do.

I can't understand the one we have, if that helps.
Actually, given that it can stand Edinburgh room temperature, its
probably at least first generation Scottish.

Skate, Plaice, Hake, Monkfish, Prawns, and a number of other species one
picks up when doing a bottom trawl with weighted sole rope and 'Fleetwood'
doors. (Check Ohlsen's almanac for Capella - 65ft. Built in Buckie,
1949). I fished all sectors between the Rock Of Bill and the Minch.
Not being facetious Arty but you will discover if I don't know what I'm
talking about I say so early on in the thread.
