Catfish playing with rocks?

[ChannelCat]

yea, mine outgrew his 20 within the first 6 months of his life. I just recently was able to obtain the 50 gallon, but it wont last long. As soon as I move out of my parents house in the next few months Im going to get him a bigger tank. Im just afraid to put something bigger than a 50 upstairs. Plus, im out of room. I may get him one of those makeshift wal mart pool ponds for this summer to make him more comfortable, but thats just ideas.

Anyways, the rocks are out and his driftwood is in the center of the tank. How can I anchor the driftwood in place?

take the rocks out and give hin a few pingpong balls with two pin holes in them so that you can sink them. i did this for my oscar he pushes them all over the tank.

awesome idea, ill do that today.

well i did that beacuse my O would spit rocks at the front of the tank when he was mad or wanted attention now he just takes it out on the pinpong balls he is to funny sometimes.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "get your rocks"...

you could go with sand it passes right through them.

sorry for laughing dude but this is awsome but in a dangerous kinda way Anyway yeah, i would get those rocks out and go for smaller gravel or sand, That ping pong ball idea is awsome too id go for that aswell.

Atleast that way you both get what you want out of it, he gets to play with his balls whilst you are sleeping So cool mate, good luck

Would also say take them out, may even damage the tank if theyre big.

Just out of interest, dont channel cats get MASSIVE? like bigger than a RTC massive?

They get huge, but not 5ft-rtc-huge

Maybe you could get some stone that is in between the two sizes.

And/or you could cut down on his 're-decorating time' by moving what is in there to what he decided he liked in his last tank. Then maybe he'll just need to make some small adjustments to get cozy!!

LOVE the ping pong ball idea, AND the story. You should video that fish playing with his toys and post it!!!

I love the ping pong ball idea. It will let the fish play, or decorate his tank as long as he wants. Also try finding other plastic things that will sink for more entertainment. My ID sharks puts everything back to the way it was if I changed his tank.
