i found my tsn dead few minutes ago ,sad day for me .he is about 7"
he was alone in a 10 gal grow-out and i have no idea why he just died like that the water was cloudy for no reason and he was only fed hikari sinking and MPs no idea what made the water that cloudy.:(

I think it outgrew the 10g a while ago...
 
You may have ended up with an ammonia spike from some source which killed him, or he caused the ammonia spike while decomposing. Sorry for you loss. Always sucks to loose a fish.

thanks for the replies he never had a chance to grow out of the 10g
sorry for your loss but it sounds like it was due to bad water quality and a 7'' fish out grew it a little while ago it should of been moved out around 5''
 
depends on the filtration as to when a fish outgrows it's tank. I run a very large filter on my ten gallong grow out and I move my kitties when they are in the 5-8" range. Never any spikes in ammonia. I just had a 6" tsn, 6" rtc x marble hybrid, and a 5" sharkcat in the same ten gallon growout. They have been moved now, but no spikes, and I grew my rtc to 8" before I moved him in there. I feed them a lot at that size. Just know that if you are going to keep catfish in a ten gallon as a growout you must put really heavly filtration.
