I must say she has had a couple of months on her own

If you breed this catfish then what do you do with the babies? I am not familiar with the breeding of fish, but gotta be better than do dogs or cats, which is what I am currently contending with 9, 9 week old puppies in my house .. want one?? I have attached a photo of one for you to make up your mind ...

wow shes a beauty, I dont really know much about catfish and breeding we keep kio carp but havnt had much luck with breeding, tropical fish have always been of interest to me and i used to sit up all night and watch the females give birth, trying to catch as many as i could and put them in the nursery

I am going out on a limb and assuming that you have a corydoras catfish. By all means you should have at least 3 corydoras catfish in your tank for them to feel secure. When you go to find more of the corydoras catfish look for some that are nearly as large as yours but maybe not as thick (females will be thicker). Even if yo do not wish to breed her to have babies they should have at least 3 in the tank. If you do decide that you wish to breed her to have babies check with you local fish store and see if they will buy them from you or trade for supplies. I am setting up a fish room so that I can breed fish to make some money with this hobby (a little over 55 years worth of experience).
