Hi all, some great cats!

this is Moby, he is in a 5x2x2 (8x3x2 on the way) after that i think i will just open the hood and run all the taps in the house and let him get on with it (my fish take up more room than i do now!) lol :ROFL:

i have had him about five weeks and he is around 13inc!

sorry pic's are not the best!
 
The 2 RTCs did not seem to have grown that much - due to cold weather and no eating ... on the sad note, all 3 huge arapaimas perished last week (i still do not have a heart to write about it yet) ... this was their first winter since i acquired them (my neighbors 5 old paimas are doing fine though)

But this was my attempt at night shot (paimas were alive still... now the outdoor set-up looks quite empty without them)
