Albino Channel Cat

- Start date
they are in 75gallon, and one who is going back in the pond is in 250 gallon pond no where near that big at all! have always been in large tanks, and none are that big. I have had them for years. The smallest tank i have is a 29 and it is used to QT now and again but currently houses feeders and some loaches. So no you would be wrong in saying i don't do proper housing. none of my others are over 5 inches long. some of which i have had for years. only reason one is in my tank not the pond is i was afraid he would be eatten. But thanks any way, will remember not to ask questions again.
Also where do you get off saying housing is wrong, unless you have your redtail cats and pacu in a massive swimming pool, i would say your housing may be off. I have never talked to so many rude people in my life. Will be deleting my account and i hope a monitor reads this. People come here to ask questions, not have rude assumptions and comments. I asked because i was concerned he was some new kind of cat and i wanted to be sure he wouldn't be miserable in a tank! I guess concern is wrong too. How about all these Red tail cat Challenges ? DO you think these people can all house big redtails? NEver mind I'm done. I have been a member of this group for a couple of days and have to say for someone who comes from the cut throat world of horses, yikes totally shocked at this group. Some were helpful others well....thanks to those who helped and the rude well i have said my peice
lol
maybe your other cats weren't albinos
By the way .. the other member probably said something about your housing because its listed in your tank setup ... and none of the tanks you listed are big enough for a channel cat at full grown size.
250 gallon pond isn't that big either, still too small.
yes all of us RTC owners have or are making ponds in the range of 1000gallons or more.

Yes and while that is fine none of mine are near 3 foot as I stated. Are you trying to tell me my six inch or less catfish needs more then 250 gallons right now? Oh come on. This big guy I have is going to pond and from there will be rehomed but this guy lists a 20 long for retail cat and a pacu! And wants to complain about my 55s 75s 180 and 250g pond? Again this is why I asked as my others are no where near that big and have had for years.... I also stated the size tank he was in! Redtail cat in 20L or Chanel cat in 75..... not seeing where I am in the wrong heremuffywrx;5162833; said:
No, didn't say that. Chill out, LOL. You said your one is over a foot long now, and if it is growing that fast, it will continue to grow at a decent rate and you need to be prepared.
If your plan is rehoming, cool. But you never said that.
No one is getting MAD at you, so don't get mad back.
None of your fish that are small are albino cats, there is no way. I'm guessing they are albino pimelodus of some sort.
Diskboy has a 20long for his redtail cat BABY who is 3" long, and is going into a 55 gallon growout, and then into an 8x8 pond. His pacu is in a different tank, but has to be housed temporarily at his girlfriends because his power went out and won't be back on until tomorrow.
Read up before you start assuming things.
We just went off of what you have listed and what pics you posted, without hostility. You on the other hand got upset and I'm not sure why. We give advice here, and if you can't take it, then go ahead and delete your account. That isn't meant to be mean, just harsh reality.

If he is going to be 3' long then yes, i am going to rehome him. No where once did he ask if i will upgrade him or plan too. If you read his comment about not housing properly well sorry if 55 gallon, 75, 180 and my pond isn't big enough for a 5-6 inch fish. The foot long guy is leaving tomorrow, for a clients pond that is much larger then mine. They only reason i had posted was my concern that he was some kind of cat other then what i had been told. If you had a fish and were told it was something and have a few other them all staying around the same size when you get another you figure it will also be around the same size. I do not claim to be a catfish expert it is why i asked.
Yes i got upset, i try to do my best to make sure all of my animals fish or other wise have what they need. to be told that i am not housing my animals properly without him even asking what they were in pissed me off. It is not only this post that i have noticed this habit of rude comments. I have mentioned it to a monitor. All i came for was to ask a question, not to have my head bitten off. As to my point about the red tail cat, and the Pacu. Mine are no where near full size and neither are his but mine are in considerably larger habitats then his. So how do you judge me by what mine are in, when his habitats are smaller then mine.
His growth rate is a concern, his aggression is a concern. This is why i posted. if i said i have a foot long one in a 20 gallon tank yeah jump down my throat because that is just mean. He could have even said it would be a good idea to put him in the 180 if he felt my 75 was to small for him. He didn't ask what size tank my other ones were in. Why go straight to saying what he did? didn't ask for a picture of them nothing...but none of that matters.
Apparently i am a poor fish keeper for housing small cats in massive tanks. Guess they belong in my pool i'll get right on that.

I'm not really sure where anyone jumped down your throat. I think the meanest thing on this thread was "not housed properly" and that was based off the fact that your other "channel" cats weren't bigger than whatever you said 5" or something. So yes, if you actually had channel cats, and they hadn't grown any larger, then no they were not housed properly. We are just going off of what you told us. You have a channel cat now, but you didn't before. However that isn't what you said - you said you HAD channel cats and the one you have now may not be.
Take a chill pill and calm down. We can't assume anything other than what you tell us. What diskboy said has nothing to do with your plans, your current tank sizes, etc. It has to do with the fact that you were claiming to have channel cats that weren't very big. I don't see anywhere where anyone was mean to you. A moderator will probably overlook this. Just saying.
