[@keegancarpenter7551]

How is he providing the fish with oxygen?

[@DEADYASSASN]

Most, if not all, catfish can breathe out of water. Catfish have a special chamber in their head that allows them to breathe atmospheric oxygen. While they may look like they are gasping for air, they are activating a mechanism that closes off their gills and opens their air-breathing chamber.

[@LartmanFarms]

There's a complete water change is every 48 hours to recover depleted oxygen, the in-let pipe has been raised and perforated so that water entering the pond can aerate it through splashes.

[@LartmanFarms]

@@DEADYASSASN there's a slight difference in how they gasp for air in a system especially when the oxygen level is low, they stay on the top and look uncomfortable

[@DEADYASSASN]

@@LartmanFarms yea I was thinking you could cut cost with aeration with them surface breathing but I guess not
