Got my first niger catfish last night along with a albino gg, hes about 12". It was actually the first one I have seen in person and I think he looks ass. Hes in the 1500. He was exploring last night but I havent seen him yet today, prob hiding in one of the caves.

Has it grown since yah got it?
 
lol cant really tell. So far he only comes out at night or when the moonlights are on. Hes pretty active than and seams to be eating good so hopefully he will grow quick. how fast should they grow??
 
Very cool. They grow about as quickly as a tsn IME. Mine eats out of my hand from the top and they become very sociable as they grow. I cant wait to see yours grown out. Im glad he has a lot of space from the beginning with you because they are probably the most inflexible catfish I have ever seen. lol I really want GG too but cant find one anywhere.
 
that fast huh. Awesome! I cant wait till he gets a bit bigger, and starts coming out during the day.
 
Nice! I can't own one, he'd tear my pool liner to shreds. :( Hope yours grows fast for you! :D

He definitely will come out during the day when bigger. Here is the video of him eating out of my hand. He starts eating at around the 2:00 mark.

Its the first video from this page.
