KNH sweet looking cat. How big is the shark in the reflection.

I don't recall how large the ID shark was then but she's 25" or 26" now.
 
I love mine, they're one of my favorite fish.

I had two monsters (2'+) that died five years ago in an August power failure :(

oh i see...mines like to swim like a shark...lol when it swims like that it reminds me of Sturgeons. =] Mines getting fatter now lol he's my clean up boy in the peacock bass tank. Uneaten frozen bloodworms will be taken by him.
 
mine will only eat flakes or vegi based foods? i tried earth worms and shrimp but he is not interested in it. he is about 7" and he only comes out at night. he looks cool but what should i feed him to bulk him up at this age? he allways looks so skiny compared to my rtc and my rtc x tsn and i need him to grow alot to keep up with my other cats.

here he is hidding

Here is mine - it has outgrown our 300 gal. I've been trying to find it a new home with no luck. By the Way, I didn't put this fish in our tank. Our old roommate bought it and put it in without telling us how large it would get...
I love him, but I feel so bad for him because he can barely turn around :(

the OTHER name: Ripsaw Catfish. And if you take em out of the water they bark:nilly:
Suppisedly intelligent, the Planetcatfish pics include one of the whiskers coming out of the water looking for food on the side of a pool (indoor.) The face looks like a manatee:grinno::D
Oh plus the Sturgeonlike-ness
 
I came real close to getting one the other day it said £28 on the label and then once they bagged it up she asked for £70 which i thought was a rip off so i got a royal knife instead.
