No noticeable growth yet. This guy just fascinates me with the amount of activity. In typical catfish fashion, it eats to the point of possible explosion
Sorry to read of your troubles Rodger.Been awhile........ I ended up losing this guy, like most of my fish, due to neglect. That stuff happens when you lose a leg. Got a new small one the other day. Only roommates are a couple big ITs in the 240. Just ate a nice meal!

Ok. First was killed by another fish. Second was neglect on my part after my leg was amputated. Why do you believe it isn't a hardy fish? All research indicates they are very tough fish.Agreed sorry to hear, why not try and look for a fish that's hardy enough that you'll enjoy? And maybe lower the stock a little so you can get away with it, especially once they're mature and you don't have to feed very much or often
Well personally I haven't looked into the Chinese wels specifically. So I wasn't saying it isn't hardy, but I was merely saying there's fish that can likely withstand the neglect (hardier), so rather than possibly killing fish maybe you can try something like a lungfish or bichir or something that you like that can take missing a few weeks of wc or feedings.Ok.
