Nice one, Follen! I don't know why people call them ugly. I think they are attractive-looking.

Love it! How old ?

 

[follen]

The wels is about 3 years old I'd guesse, cheers guys he is a lovely fish to watch in pond.

Does he swim around, or stay in one place during the day?

Does he not eat much? At 3 years, I would expect him to be about double that size. I've had my albino for a few months, and he is catching up to yours already.

Its a bad camera angle does make him look smaller, he is a cold water pond with some large koi. So in winter when the pond freezes over all the fish stop eating. He is always on the move in the warmer months but in winter he does stay in one area.

gorgeous fish! I love the channel cat (?). what else do You keep with it? more pics?

 

[follen]

If ur refering to the big guy he's a wels catfish, he's living in a pond with koi rangeing from a couple of pounds to some big 20pound plus ghosties, also lots of natives like roach tench grass carp and there is a channel catfish in there at about 2 foot long to be joined next year by a couple more channels I got growing out.

Does he snack on the Koi ?
