I don't think you can breed channel cats unless you have a very large aquarium or a pond, because they are fairly large by the time they are sexually mature. They are bred commercially for food in ponds anyway, so why would you want to do it in your aquarium ?

Commercial aquaculture of channel cats is a multi-billion dollar industry in the US. A search on the web will tell you everything you never wanted to know (and were afraid to Google) on this subject.

you need about 5 channel cats to make you have a breeding pair. Collcect some rain water then freeze it. Put it in your tank and it should trigger a spawn. remove all other fish because they will be harassed. After they cats have laid the eggs the male should guard the nest. The fry will become free swiming in about 5 days. Feed babies baby live brine shrimp. Send me a message if it works for u. c ya
