Amongst the Catfish & Plecos
Well, my very guilty TSN has been at it again. Several months ago, she killed my 18" ID cat when she was around 24-25". The ID was beefy and she only managed to suffocate it. The other ID I thought was safe as he is much larger and even fatter. However, today I went out to see this 24"+ ID cat missing most of his tail and beat up badly. The TSN has a scrape down her side as well, so I'm quite certain it was her yet again. I'm going to keep a close eye on him for infection, keep the water very clean, and keep everyone well fed. I'm not sure why she loves to eat ID's, but they are apparently on her menu as there is a gold knife and a pbass in there I think would be a whole lot easier to get down the hatch. Looks like I'm going to have to move some residents of the 600 into the 385 gallon pond for a while.

Some quickly snapped terrible phone shots to show damage... The water was all stirred up from a water change after everyone probably literally had the crap scared out of them during the attack.

Some of the cats' measurements as of our May move:
Big TSN: 30.5"+
RTCxTSN: 26.5"
Knife: 22"
Little TSN: 24"
Niger Cats: 26.5"+
Giraffe Cat: 24"+

Big kitties. :)

Sorta big kitties. They're only about 2 years old, and still have a TON of growing to do. This tank is going to be outgrown rapidly. :)

I think it might be a Miss TSN due to her growth rate and size (but just a guess). She has always been quite a hunter, snagging random fish. She hasn't been able to swallow anyone since she is kept with fish that won't fit down the hatch,and I don't feed feeders. I'm guessing that when she was little, before I got her, she was heavily fed feeders. She's got a fantastic personality, or I'd be really frustrated with her.
