Kittyfish Update!

Whoo! Back from my trip to New Orleans (was a ton of fun, and went to a concert..etc ) and all the fish got bigger!! RTC still remembers how to handfeed, both the tsn and rtc grew a good inch or so .. got an accurate measurement on the tsn...apparently he was actually around 2" when I bought him and is now 3.5". RTC grew to 4".

Messy water in photos because there were no water changes for 5 days until today when I got back. Whew...totally tired now..time for bed.

I love my little tsn too, I think he has the most perfect stripe. Got him at a very small but friendly fish store in PA, they only ordered one but I might ask for another hehe. You can get small ones on some online sites like liveaquaria.com but I prefer to pick out my fish in person.

It could stay in your 75g for a little while but it would quickly need to be upgraded to a pond, I would reccomend 600 gallons or more for starters. They average about 3' on MFK. Keep in mind, mine grew an INCH in five days!!!

They still in the 10 gallon? What do you have filtering that sucker?

RTC is in the 20g now with his 2 hob filters, a ton of carbon in them, and 3 airstones. Tsn moved to the 20 also, pics when I had him in my planted tank cuz I was afraid he would get eaten while I was away, but he actually grew more than the rtc. Should be in their 180g tub in the next week or so..lots of moving around for the little guys.

More pix, plus one of my suncat:

Thanks! They really do have a ton of personality too.

Picking up another tsn later this week , and looking for a canister filter for the 180 growout project. Hopefully that will last them a little while so I can build the 700g pond.

Cool, same size tsn?
