I got 2 myself one 6inches and one is 4inches same tank,,they are doing good eating shrimp, worms and feeders but yeah! watch out they do get ick really easy. just make sure your temp is around 79-80. my temp is about 80 and ph 7.0. post pictures bro.:grinno:
 
Im sorry about everyone who has lost there Fila.:(

Mine though no longer eats feeders. He had ate some after a few days here and after he ate the few in there I havnt gave them to him sence. Now he eats bloodworms, and beefheart.:D And is finally getting his spots! lol oh andmy temp has been around 77
 
Wonderful news Kntrygrl! 77 degrees and it eats well! Can't wait till mine does that
 
Might call mine night stalker. Doesn't like to hunt during the day at all. He just sits and waits till the first sign of nightfall then he's up prowling around. Kinda funny to watch him hunt. He swims up through the fish and then just falls down. Doesn't move a fin at all. Just floats down and if a fish just happens to be within striking distance he pounces and devours it with lightning speed.
 
Got 4 more coming next week to replace the one I lost! This time I will not lose another one!!!! :D :D :D
 
When you getting them? I am away at work for the 2nd time now. Finally got my jurense eating shrimp. Going to try in a week or so to get the piraiba on them too. The Jau eats absolutely anything I put in so no worries there. lol. How's everyone else's cats doing? Mine is eating like a hog. Been doing a 10% water change every day, and a big 50% water change when I get back from work each time. So over a 10 day period I am changing 90% spread out. Even my irridescent sharks are now eating shrimp, and now it hits me that I have so many huge cats in the making lol. Cant wait till they all get huge!!!
 
Cliff, how are you getting your cats to eat shrimp? Do you toss it in the tank and then leave them alone and come back later or are you standing there dangling and wiggling the shrimp?
