Heres a link to my turtles and setups: http://photobucket.com/albums/y224/turtleman85

Right now, I have him in a 125 gallon tank with about 90(or maybe a little more) gallons in it. He is a little over 5" carapace. O yea, the pics on the link haven't been updated in a while.

On a side note, what species of catfish do you have there? Some type of Bullhead?

It was a channel cat that my friend had caught out at the lake. I had it about a month b4 it kicked the bucket. I had it in a 20 gallon(momentarily) when I got my 125 gallon tank. I filled the big tank up and threw the catfish in there about 20 minutes later not thinking about letting the water filter a few days. I might get another one pretty soon though.
