Great looking cat bro! One of my favorites mostly because of how active mine was, unlike most cats wasn't really a hider and he grew like a weed. I regret selling him, but at the time I was overstocked and looked to move the biggest fish I had at the time and he was up there with a Marbled Achara, RTC/Shovel Hybrid and Pterodoras granulosus. Good luck with him bro, can't wait to see some size on him it's rare to see a pic of one grown out.

Thanks! I hope to grow it out huge, but in Montana the winters bite hard and you never know when you might get a power outage. Sux because usually lose some fish when it does. :( He ate some floating cichlid pellets, krill, shrimp, and silversides today. :) guess he was ready for a full meal today lol. Here's some pics of him sitting happy with a full belly.

Hmmm after posting the new pics I think I might have to check his eyes more closely when I get home. Seems he may have a touch of popeye. Wouldn't surprise me considering the high PH mountain well water at my place. :( I also noticed that he came in missing the center set of barbels on the lower jaw. :( There are nubs and also compared his cauldal to those of others and seems the outer edges are missing. He may have had a touch of FTR. Gonna do a precautionary treatment on this tank.

Man I over react to new fish lol. Definitely has some of the FTR with the missing wiskers though. Here's a pic taken right after the one that looks like he has popeye. Obviously there was something in the background on the other pic.

Ok here is the latest vid I have of the vulture! He was just cruising the tank the night of his acclimation. I was trying to get a vid of him pigging out earlier, but of course I turned on my cam to a dead battery!!!!!
