WOW!!! Look at the belly on that thing! No wonder he's growing an inch a week. Cool fish, I love marbles, especially when they are little.

How big is he? What size tank is he in? And what are you feeding him?
 
He is really fat!!! lol.....he must be eating really well.....

when I got him he was a skinny 3-4" , now hes a chunky 5".
A 120Gal 48"x24"x24"
I started feeding him a couple feeders when I got him but since then Ive only been giving him some (Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets) an whatever else he finds.

yes he eats whatever he can get, I saw his greedy @ss eat a Algae disc I put in for my plecos, just inhaled it like nothing.

When I got him I was actually tring to get a RTC but the place didnt have any, so I got him.
 
I love how cats will eat until their gut's about to pop. :screwy:
 
hey bro, they are big eater...just like vaccuum cleaner....

My previous marblecat grew 1ft in 02 months.......Can you imagine the fellow swallowed my 3"Dat when he was around5"......... :(
 
1 foot in 2 months? what did you feed it?

Pure Market prawns.....

not only that, i used to have a spotted gar that grew 8" to 20inches from 10weeks......and also a red tailed cat that grew 1ft in about 10weeks too.......

Their growing rates are too scary.... :eek:

Hes "slimmed" down a lil, now he gets what he can find on the gravel.

You can say that again. only fish small enough for him to eat are my two Firemouths, but there quick enough to stay outve his way.
