The best length for catfish juveniles typically ranges between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).
This size is ideal for stocking because:
- They are stronger and more resilient to environmental changes and handling.
- They have already passed the most vulnerable fry stage.
- They adapt better to feeding and pond conditions.
- They show better survival and growth rates compared to smaller sizes.
Smaller juveniles (around 2–3 inches) may be cheaper but often require more careful management and may have higher mortality if not handled properly.
