i emailed the guy and told him he's better off either building a tank or buying a kiddie pool. he said he was looking for a 125gal. all i can say is that i feel really bad for the rtc.

that is such a pity seriously. but then it makes me think of the theory that fishes grow only as big as the tank. in that case that catfish should have never grown that big right. i wonder how true this theory is? i have read many articles about this but havent been able to come to a conclusion

I have yet to read anything saying that the "fish grow to their environment theory" is true. The only thing that can happen is the fish will become stunted due to a lack of space, which causes deformity and internal organ damage.

Whoever owns that fish is an Idiot! That fish should be in a 220 at that size.

I feel so bad for that fish. I recently saved a Marble Pim in a similar situation though.

Pulled a 19" Marble, 13" Pleco, and two probably 12" Tiger Oscars (oh and a chocolate cichlid that didn't make it, it had been too beat up) All out of a 45 or 55 gallon cube tank! Found them for free on Craigslist...

That guy should be looking for a new home for the fish, not a 50! Poor thing...

bashing aside. the water must be ok for it to reach that size in that tank

Oh well the good news is that he's willing to give it a bigger house.
