Coming home and finding that beautiful beast deceased would almost be enough to cause me to get out of fishkeeping.
Awesome catfish thread!

Not at all sure what happened. I had him a little over two years. He hadn't been hiding for the last several months and was laying in his usual spot in front of a 1600 GPH circ pump in the morning. That evening when I went to feed, he was upside down. He had those marks around all of his fins and when I went to remove him some skin came loose. That tells me he had been dead awhile. He may have been dead in the morning, but a catfish that isn't moving is hardly alarming. I think the "burnt" looking areas were just skin pulling away. The flesh looked nice and clean, not like wounds. Anyway, Wes got me a new baby a week later. I am already hand feeding him. Hopefully I can get him coming to the surface to hand feed in a little while. That gives me 4 finger removing fish now that hand feed. Fahaka, Mbu, Leichardti and Tig.
Nice Wels, Scott, but why are you holding it like that? Did your cat die too? No other reason to hold a fish like that.
Poor guy got kicked out of both his caves by cats to big to fight back against. He's about 5.25-5.50" now.
Update pics of Beavis, my apurensis. He's with me for 7 months now. He was 6 inches when i got him.
The magnificent bastard is now about 16 inches by 5 inches. Eats non stop. I only feed him twice a week now.
