great pics. Have always wanted one, maybe sometime soon, do you recommend? What do you like , dislike about them. How long have you had this one. What is their growth rate? What do you feed? I have seen about 5-6" in LFS going for about $25. Is this more or less their going rate.
 
cool catfish, how big is it?
 
Thanks everyone :thumbsup:

Ive had the Giraffe for about 3 years now and he,s over 20in long ive just moved him into a 4x2x2 aquarium and as he gets bigger i can move him into my 5x2x2 but when he outgrows that he,ll have to go iam affraid as i cant go any bigger tank wise.I feed him on a variety of foods inc prawn,whitefish,peas,protein sticks ect.Good points are he,s fine to keep with the smallest of fish (the small fish he,s in with are Labeo Boga and Hasselti Barb) bad points would have to be him constantly hoovering the gravel stiring up mess and moving the gravel around the tank making mounds.
