wow crazy how fast they grow
Tell me about it... I've had Buster for 5 mths and he's went from 3" to 16" :eek: at last check... I really should try to messure him again since the TSN has been in there with him he's been hogging more food than normal, I think he's trying to out grow Tigger who is 18"
 
Strange thing with Albert here is that he has nothing to do with my TSNs. They both hang out together, and he keeps to himself, and the 3 oscars, and Jaguar cichlid all hang with him. lol, if they only knew they might be his future meals. My tank is like the local big cichlid rescue center, but somehow they keep comming up missing!

I have mostly catfish, and other fish that people here can't house properly. I basically talk people out of their fish, but I find a lot of times that other people's fish have bad habits like only eating goldfish, or only eating flakes, and they either die from clean water, or get fed to the big boy lol. He got a 13" oscar that refused to eat anything for the 3 months I had it. It was supposed to be albino, but it was greenish in color, and just wouldn't eat. I couldn't stand to see it suffer longer to I thought it would make a better tank mate for my 37.5" hybrid lol. Guess 13" doesn't mix with 37.5". 13" oscar seems big till you put it in the tank with something about 3x it's length and probably 30x or more heavier. He still ate a ton of shrimp that night, and his belly didn't seem to bulge that much. Too bad you are in Canada I might consider giving you another TSN that this idiot(I mean uninformed guy) I know has. Thinking of collecting some stone cats, and bullheads for MFK this spring and summer.
 
You seriously want another TSN? lol, don't blame you, but I might have to keep this one. It's about 26" long and lives in a 100 gal. He doesn't know why it's nose stays soo busted up in that huge of a tank lol. He said he's had it for 4 years, and has fed it 100 feeders a week for that whole time. It looks pretty bad. I'll have to try and get pics if he lets me take it. Looks like it had fin and tail rot and it's caudal fin never grew back completely.
