My catfish

[Iamfish]

Mucosus is a bit sickly thin. Has it been feeding ok?

He eats everyday

The hemibagrus olyroides is getting more confident by the day, he will come out of his cave whenever I open the lid of the tank. Hopefully I can get some full shots of him soon because he looks really cool, especially his tail.

Does it feed enough? To a bulge? If so and it is not putting any weight on, I'd suspect intestinal parasites or some other problem.

If I may ask, where did you get your Hemibagrus Olyroides from? I had been watching them on aqua imports for a few weeks before they sadly went out of stock before I could order one.

He has grown and put on weight since I got him, maybe the angle of the picture made him look weird?

So what cat should I target next? I have space for 1 more cat in my 55 and 1 more in my 125.

Jumper cats.

You happen to have any exp with them, and know if you they are ok when kept alone. I have read some sources that say they are not affected when kept alone while other sources say they hide all the time when alone.

For what its worth, i keep an ornatus in my community (gifted to me from none other than Jexnell ). Other two bottom feeders in the tank are a pictus and raphael. They get along famously. The ornatus is gregarious and active. It is skittish but definitely calms down once its used to its surroundings. I recommend at least a 5' tank with lots of open floor space for them to patrol. Like a lot of fish, water quality seems to have a lot to do with the skittishness.



Also, love your cat collection. Keep the updates coming.

I was thinking about adding a larger pleco to try something a little different. I have had my eye on psedacanthicus serratus for a little while now so I might go with that. Thanks for the info on your experience and compliment , I will certainly keep the updates coming.

Moved the mystus into the 125 to give him more space since he loves to swim around. So now the question is what to add to the 55....
