Here's some of the first pics I took of Fat Albert, and here's some pics from just last night! He ate 3 hot dogs. They are only about 25% of what I feed to all my catfish, but he decided last night that he liked them better than shrimp and wouldn't share any with lumpy and the others. I think he's around 18.5"-19", and was barely over 1" when I first got him last may!

See this makes me wish that I had taken better pics of Buster when he was Small....

I agree...I've been trying to stay on top of taking shots of my little guys so I have something to compare them too.

That's unbelieveable, Cliff!! He looks like he could have been eaten by that serpae tetra..:ROFL:
 
wow crazy how fast they grow

Not sure how big the fila will be, but hopefully big enough for my liking lol. I'm sure at least 14" though. I've made my prediction, let's hope he lives up to it!

Well the opposit happened. lol. He ate all but one fish in that tank, and my wife wasn't too happy about that. This was the smallest catfish I have ever purchased. Only my smallest lima had less girth, but twice the length.

Tell me about it. He can eat several handfulls of shrimp on his own now. He's not above kicking the tsns butts to get to his shrimp and hotdogs.


So that everyone knows I keep a very well documented photographic journal of all my fish. I have literally over 10,000 pics of my fish over the last 4 years.
 
Nice, I love how his fins have all that white. Mine has red edged fins. Ive had mine for about 10 months and he is about... 14-15" now. Got him around 1.5" I think he would of been a lot bigger if it wasn't for his tank braking and then getting the fin rot

I remember your tank breaking. That was insane, but at least you still have it. Mine would be bigger also, but I had the heater failure that nearly killed half my fish, and did kill the big jau I had. My rtc was on death's door. So hard for me to get a rtc so I am hoping to have this one for a long time. lol. Mine didn't eat for like a month after that. WHen I first got him he had fin and tail rot along with small gill curl that is barely noticeable today.
