Picked up a few new cats today to grow out for the pond. 3 ID sharks 3-4", 3 Grass cutter catfish (Schilbe intermedius) 4-5"and 2 pictus cats 2" to clean up the tank.

Grass cutter catfish (Schilbe intermedius) these guys supposedly max out at 12". They kinda look lOok like a small wells cat. Couldn't find much info on them on here so I'll keep updates on them. They are a constant swimming schooling fish and so far has stayed on the upper half of the tank.

I'd sharks...everyone knows about them. Just no body seams to know how fast they grow so I'll try and document there growth.

Pictus ( Pimelodus pictus) I got these 2 just to clean the tank. And man do they do a great job. Right when I put them in they went straight to the bottom and cleaned up the massivore pellets. I'm pretty surer they max out at 5"

All of them are eating already and the ID and grass cutters are all swimming in 1 school. I'll post pics as soon as I can get my laptop to read my sd card.

It's a 100gal. Kinda small but it's got a great filtration setup. 2-400gph pumps going through a 30gal tower full of scrubbies a emperor400 hob and a ac110. Not to mention all 4 bubble stones to keep the o2 high. It's been a Great grow out for all my cats.
