Ya the TSN looks huge, biggest TSN I've ever seen in a home normal aquarium. Not including those monster TSN's in those enormous DIY tanks. I wished I lived in the same city as you cuz I would love to see your cats in person

I know right?? When I finally go to Cali, I have, have, HAVE to come see these babies in person. May have to bring an extra towel for my drool though.
These dimensions would be awesome for them. They'd be quite comfy. I'll have to go see if you have pics up.XbackRedDragon;3810532; said:

Will get them up, but have to get the 94 gallon overflow panels siliconed up tonight so it isn't happening tonight I don't think.

Thanks. She's a big girl, and she's putting on some serious girth lately. I'm guess about 27", but haven't gotten a real decent measurement on her in a couple months. The only one who's even seen the tank up in person so far was R1_Ridah, but I haven't had him here since the cats were in it. It would be fun to have some people over once a couple of my projects are done. It's a little hard to walk in there right now, though its getting better.

LOL As long as you bring your own towel. (You probably don't want to use the fish towels out in the garage.)
Nice setup.................... I had clown knives before and they like to come out at night and sleep during the day....I find it cruel that he has no refuge to sleep in........ just set up one thin and high cave that only he will fit into......
everyone has to sleep.........just my two cents............

The gold knife is very happy and healthy, and I am in no way being cruel to him. He is no longer nocturnal, and is extremely friendly to the point of following me around and hand feeding. As you can read in the thread, I'm not opposed to putting in territory, and have driftwood that I am working on securing so no one gets crushed by the big cats playing with it. I have not had time to do yet, and it's not a top priority at the moment since he has been eating fantastically, has shown nothing but confident, friendly behavior, and the catfish do not bother him.
So, I was given a pair of pbass, and it turns out they were large enough to go into the 600 with the big kitties. 
The female is showing some nice colors, but I think the male will need some TLC before his colors are going to come around. They were in with another pair, and from what I understand the other male was dominating the tank. He has some HITH, so I think he has a ways to go before he's 100%. I think just not getting whomped on will help him, but I also fed them some shrimp stuffed with medicated food last night. It will be interesting to see where he's at over the next couple weeks and months. They appear to be enjoying their new home tremendously, seem very relaxed, and are very interested in people.
Here are a few pics from last night a couple hours after the move (and no they aren't great, but they're photos):
The male... I'll post updated photos in a couple weeks to see how he is progressing.
The female...
And here is a very fat TSN who ate not only her share of the large pre-introduction dinner, but also the hybrid's share of the tilapia. So if she is about 26-27", how big do you figure that belly to be?
And not to be left out, my hybrid wondering why I wasn't focusing on him...
Love this big, nicely colored tail!

Thanks John. You have contributed to this tank in many ways. I was told the filtration was modeled (on a very miniature scale) after yours, you assist me greatly in feeding by those awesome prices you offer on food, and of course your tank is always an inspiration. So, thank you.
