petting the cat partII with pics

[somefinnfishy]

I took some bad pics but pics none the less takeing guesses on his size and weight i'm 6'5" with very large hands and thats a 180g
BTW thats the most you will ever see of me:D

[shyguyjon]

that can't be a 180! why's the tank so short?

[somefinnfishy]

one more and its a 180 those are 1 1/4" uptubes and some of the tanks not shown

[somefinnfishy]

nobody has anything to say about this fish I'm shocked:eek:

[<><FunSize><>]

nice fish man how old is it
is it very aggresive or is it lazy

[Awestralian]

Thats a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig cat!
I have a lil one, different breed, about 4-5 inches long...
:D

[somefinnfishy]

very lazy he will allow other tankmates if the tank was big enough.My co worker houses a 37" aba aba that thing is cool :cool: I'm not a suporter of keeping a fish like these in aquaria but someone did so its only right to try to make him happy in his cramped housings:(

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

what a nice fish sha-wingg(waynes world) yeah that should be in a huge aquarium 5-10 times bigger then the 1 its in for it to be happy.

that fish is an exeption the the 1 gallon per inch of fish who ever made that rule is stupid and 9 times out of ten is wrong

you said his lazy did you ever thing he might be sad or depressed thats like haveing an oscar in a 10 gallon

[mrbigisbudgood]

What do you feed that thing? Small children?

:D

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

he like those decor cats you buy from kmart or big w lol

[somefinnfishy]

We know he needs a bigger home but he has been around work for a year or two we are stacked to the gills tanks and have no room to build anything.i'll talk to the boss tonight have a plan:D
He is well fed BTW no children just fish he wont even bother eating anything under 3":rolleyes: but will readily accept non live fish (frozen/non sick dead fish) right out of your hand.
He kicks water out of his tank till you pet him like 5 gallons.
He is for sale if you got a indoor pond nicest one I've ever seen.

I second that notion, you can tell how big the tank is by the thickness of the glass, that's a big red tail catfish...however you should see the ones at the vancouver aquarium. They must weigh around 350 pounds. They're about 5 feet in length.

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

prove it:p lol no preasure their.they are monsters how much is he and would you need proof that you can house him or would you just sell him??i have a pool hey can stay in if he wants ask him

[somefinnfishy]

He can go localy within 400 miles the proof is the $299 price tag and a bit of interigation on your tank sizr and skills:D We turned down 200 for him like a week ago.

:eek: Not sure:confused:

I know the price is fair even without his personality.
BTW
I laid out plans for a 96"x31"x32" iron framed glassboard tank might take him home myself.
Uncle runs a welding shop.
Have two sheets of glass from a 80L.
And two sheets of the 3/4 glass board

[nolemite]

I had to bury one twice that size a few weeks ago.

[somefinnfishy]

:(
Very sad
What happened?
And what size tank housed a 4' cat fish :eek:

[nolemite]

I believe it was killed by a black shark @ 2 ft. Same shark killed another 5 ft. fish (not an RTC) in the same tank.

Tank is very large, it's not mine, but a friend of mine from my aquarium club who I do work for. Let's just say the size of the tank is "XXXL" ;)

[somefinnfishy]

thats odd most big black sharks I've seen are a bit timid as adults and frisky as teenagers we had one come in last month that was a solid foot long and was cohabitating with guppy fry and other comunity fish.
