Catfish in aquariums

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had an irwini for about a year, they grow very fast from 2" up to about 7" or so, then they slow right down. and they also have a very bad habit of starving themselves if you upset them. I read about it and then mine went on a hunger strike for 2 weeks.

they grow very well on high protein pellets, I had these sinking pellets called Xtreme monster and he grew like a weed for the first few months
 
Everything Rafini has said I observed as well.

Mine 6 got stuck at ~10" and have been on a hunger strike ever since moved into a 4500 gal 2 months ago.
