Noturus flavus .
I have two. one is the swawn of the devil for sure.
the other is ok, but it will eat's all fish smaller then it or kill's them as they are to big to eat.
I can not let these fish go. so they will become food for other fish.
these fish have" killed "and or left other fish unable to live! so they are gone period
i can not stand by and watch two fish wipe out my hard work any more.

"Eats mainly bottom invertebrates (insects, crayfish); sometimes also plant material and fishes (Becker 1983, Scott and Crossman 1973)."
Maybe better research next time :fishy: ? Why not just get larger fish with them so you don't have to worry about them eating your fish.

I had experience with fish killing those others two big to eat. With a dollar sunfish I put him in a tank with larger agressive lepomis sunfish who forced him into submission.

With my banded killies, I stopped adding free swimmers of similar size. (they mostly ignore bottom feeders though, but shred and devour other fish too big to eat).

I sometimes think that "catfish" means will eat anything that will fit in it's mouth in some obscure native american language. I have a young bullhead that is going to my friend's pond as soon as I can catch it. It's almost big enough to harass my crayfish. My friend's pond is a small prefab model with zero chance of the fish escaping into the wild.

What kind of fish were your Stonecats tankmates? I have a friend who kept his with some Longear Sunnies and they got along swimmingly (in a 125g aquarium). I tried to put one in with some Green Sunnies and my Greenies killed him the next morning while I was at work.

Green sunfish would be better named Mean sunfish.
