How big of a tank are you keeping him in?


Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

for the time being he is in the 100 gal 4' x 2' x 21". Will be moving him to the 400 gal pond once he is over 12-13".

Thanks for the info. Gonna work hard this year and get some of em cats. =)

Please do and make a thread to showcase them please!!!! Would be awesome to see a thread showcasing cats from your part of the world.

Although it looks larger it is just now a bit over 11.5", but that's measured in tank through the glass. Might be closer to 12" if measured out of the tank.

Any idea how this fish would do in multiples. I'm considering two or three for a 10X4 tank? Thanks.

I am uncertain as my wallet can't handle buying that many lol. I will say that reports of them in the wild are of them coming together to feed on carcasses so maybe it will work. Dunno.

Please do your research but my vague impression is that they shoal at all ages/sizes in the wild - I mean the shoals consist of fish of a comparable size/age at any any size/age. Mine two (only had them for a year, from 6" to 9") certainly loved each other's company.
