catfish in hiding for 7 years

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I believe your story. After a year of not seeing my spotted Raphael in my 180 grow out, I spotted him in my 450! He must of moved with some wood I was soaking in the 180 to get the tannest (spell) out of the wood. I see him maybe every other month now lol.

I bet you have some kind of Raphael cat :D

Can you define "thoroughly" ?????

The days of putting all the fish in a bucket and taking the tank out side and hosing it down in the back yard are over.

Low stress cleaning is key for monster fish keeping. A friend on mine had his black aro panic jump into the cover and killed it's self during gravel vacuuming and syphoning water out of his tank.
 
I can't remember what fish I bought last year, let alone in 2003.
 
thant happend to me when i moved some fish into a 10gal, i had an upside down catfish and i couldnt find it so i just put all the fish in a 10gal and i also moved the decor in the 10 and like 3 weeks after i moved the fish i finally found the catfish swimmin around. i was pretty suprised since it was such a small tank for him to hide in
 
I lost a syno cat for almost a year. The only way I found him was one night I had the video camera on night vision because some fish were being picked on. I turned all the lights off even the night lights and sure enough after like 10 mins of going to bed he came out and swam around looking for food.
