Everythings growing like mad.

The Niger is always the first to the front of the tank. He's starting to get really deep now. One of my favourite fish, his little friend is growing up quickly around 6" now. Just need to get him up to 18" before he can go into the big tank. Some serious mass feeding going on in the grow up tanks.

Tiny is not so tiny any more. He's getting seriously wide and deep and boy he can eat. He's somewhere around the 21/22" mark. Although, he still looks horrendously small in the tank next to the larger stock and the tank itself. He's seems to have a dodgy Gill on the left hand side, I've noticed it since I've been growing him up. Almost a slight curve to it. Although, only at the top of the Gill. So I've ruled it out as Gill curl. Although, my water is always kept really good. So I'd be surprised if it was.

The other smaller cats are growing very well. Considering moving my capa on. As cats go, he's got no personality and I find him rather boring. Any body in the U.K. Want a rare cat, hit me up.

hemisorubim platyrhynchos Has grown alittle, getting some nice colouring.

I'm due a big clear out of fish soon. I've kind of gone Abit OTT with them. I could do with shutting some of the grow out tanks down. I.e. Got slot of smaller growing catfish and cichlids.


The tsnXperruno has grown a stupid amount and extremely quick. He's around 8" now and still going strong.

Had to sell the perruno on I had growing up unfortunately. He'd got to big for the grow out tanks but not big enough for the big tank. Real shame. I'm sure I'll find another one at some point.

The dorado is growning nicely around 3.5/4" now. I've got some bass that need to either move or drop in the big tank and see how they survive. Before he can go into his next grow out.

I'm pretty much compleate stock wise. I can't think of much else to add. So I doubt I'll be buying anything else, unless I've got a free tank and a nice wykii pops up. Lost my beast on the move unfortunately. Miss that fish alot, I shall own another at some point. Enough of me rambling on, enjoy the pictures, unfortunately. There only pictures off my phone. Haven't had time to get the Nikon out.

Nice update. Sucks you lost the wyckii. Beautiful fish.
 
Lovely cats. I would get some heater guards on those unprotected heaters pronto as it is only time before one gets broken or a cat gets burned...just some drilled pvc would do it or buy some proper ones.

There's only the one unprotected heater. In the small grow out tank. The biggest thing in there is the perruno hybrid at7". I have got a spare guard. I'll chuck it on at some point. Proberly better safe than sorry.

Looking good mate the red tail looks like his come on leaps and bounds. The dorado cat is looking stunning hope you have the success in raising him to a good size.
Thanks Daz. He's eatting like a Redtail. Seriously smashing whole prawns every two days. You should see his gut after eatting. Hoping he grows well myself.
 
Nice shots. Niger is a beast.


How big is the hemisorubim platyrhynchos and what are you feeding it ?
