First cat fish in about 10 years - I keep reading that these guys are delicate, but can't find much in depth literature on their care requirements? Normally with delicate fish like this there is an abundance of information out there to help.....sooooo, any advice is appreciated!

Right now he's in a 120 gallon with a black arowanna, temp is at around 83 degree's...hasn't eatin' yet but he's sitting under a peice of driftwood and relaxing...

Running an FX5 at 900 GPH plus a 1200 GPH powerhead on the tank, along with aeration.

Tips are appreciated, or links, or whatever :)
 
He is sweet! I wish I had the cash flow for one!
 
nice Tig
 
My favorite cat tried one a year os so ago and it started to eat like a pig then started to breathe hard one day and never recoverd.Great looking cat maybe one day I will try another.
 
99% of Tig's die due to overfeeding.
They should only be fed sparingly and only twice a week once they are over about 10"
