IN YOUR HEAD
my new tsn it is just a 20" cat. i couldn't beleive how big it was at first. the guy said 20" but i didn't think it actually would be 20" when i went to get it. i put a tape on it when i put it into the tank. i also got some pics of it in the move. i got one with me holding it. i found the best way to move it was to grab its tail and lip it like i would a channel cat. i will be adding more pics as i get them uploaded and i will get a vid.
 
it is a 180gal for the current time. this fish is 3yrs old and was in a 75gal for a long time and then a 120gal. i think it may be stunted some. i can see it in its head. i'll be having a pond in the near future for my big cats. i have another tsn, a rtcxtsn, a channel cat and an achara cat at this point. will be continuing to collect as i go.
 
they guy i got it from had it in a 120gal wide his friend had it in a 75gal. 120gal wide not the best, but better then a 75gal. it is in good hands now. went up to get some gar and got the cat as well.
 
it is 20" exactly. they get to 44" or so. it may still grow. we will see. my shortnose gar grew from a 3yr old 15" fish into the 17.5" fish of today and i have not had it for to long. maybe mid summer and they grow a lot slower at a larger size. hopefully it isn't stunted to much.

good news it is eatting already. at my 6" pumpkinseed sunfish...lol
 
a few more of the cat. again the best way i found to move it while protecting it from itself was to grab it. i am a professional fisherman so i know how to handle fish. this cat ate a 6" sunfish hours after the move so i didn't harm it in any way.
