Help with 5" Tiger Shovelnose Catfish rescue

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Excellent. Just test the tank first. Sounds almost too good of a deal. You may find you need to strip and re-silicone the joints, which is simple, just a bit laborious... but hopefully it holds the water well.
actually he never used the tank, he said it was sitting in a box when he moved into the house, but i will be water testing the tank first.
Nice Update - thats great news you are taking the right responsible steps bro and caring for this fish right - Hats off to you
Thank you very much
Very good to see this type of thread.

me too, i never thought i would be that guy though.

btw, this guy is swimming happy from what i can tell, just harder than crap to get a good picture of him, but then again i am only using my phone to try.

Are you saying you got a brand new 125 gal tank for $100? That's great! I paid $350 for my 120 gal tall.

I'd need a better side shot but this doesn't look like a TSN, rather a TSNxRTC hybrid.

yep and tested last night and the tank ran perfectly. I will try to get a better shot of him, like said, he does not hold still for anything, haha.
 
Well bad news guys, The cat didn't make it, came down stairs this morning and some reason he was floating belly up. I feel really bad for the guy. I tried give him everything he needed and he was just not as tough as he needed to be.
