So member WORRELK9 contacted me about picking up two redtail cats I get there and ended up taking 9 fish in total i will post pics tommorow its midnight and i have to get up early plus i had to drive 1.5 hours to get them so i am beat but heres the list

26" RTC this guy is thick (10-15 pounds) and he only likes to be hand fed....
12" RTC
3.5" Frontosa
3" Frontosa
2" Frontosa
2.5" Leoporanis (spelling is wrong)
3" Spotted Pictus
2x 3" common plecos

not all from the same tank and not going into one tank

Good deal. I can't wait to see that big RTC.

 

[Steve_89]

Can't wait for pix of the RTC!

 

[rottbo]

I had to move the big guy by hand he would not stay in a net and was actually very calm when i moved him by hand... scary though cuz those spike are razor sharp and he dug them into my fingers

 

[rottbo]

it was different i get to his house and he asked me if i wanted these three "striped" fish (frontosa) of course i said yes and while i was netting them he told me to just take everything in the tank cuz he wife wants to do only SW from now on.... the rtc was much bigger than i expected and took me about 20 minutes to get him out of his tank into the moving crate i tried to net him he didnt like it i tried to wrap a towel around him he was having none of that so finally i just grabbed him under his pectoral fins and put him in the crate besides all the water he spit all over me it was very easy and alot less stressful on him.... stressful on me but not him

[rottbo]

heres some bad pics, man i need a new cam...... by the way my hand is about 36" above the big rtc.... and i just threw a pic of the midas in cuz he was beggin to get a photo taken .... and that is gravel and sinkin pellets on the bottom not poop i vacum everyother day since i have some big poopers in here.. so current list on the kiddie pool is 3 large silver aros two large rtcs two large pangasius and one large midas... and if someone can identify the frontosas for me that would be great.... thanks
