thanks all for your kind comments!

David, some answers to the best of my knowledge.

1] how old are they?- cant be certain, the original vendor is investigating

2] how long have you had them?- about 6weeks

3] how big were they when you first acquired them?- around 17.5inches

4] have they always been in the pond or were they in a grow out tank and then transfered to the pond?- was in a 5x3x2 tank from the previous owner

5] how did you hear about them?- while i was surfing http://stonesaquarium.blogspot.com

6] where did you find them? original vendor- as above

7] you mentioned they are nocturnal. have they always been this way?-previous owner described it as always active in his tank 24/7. now, the cat will mostly rest below a driftwood during the day unless i throw in some food it will swim out to investigate. Cat is always active when the sun goes down, loves to nose into rock bottoms over and over again.

8] what does their diet consist of?- I try to keep to MP and just introduced some smelt to the cat. he had some time with feeders and the previous owner would feed him 1 big bag of medium mollies/week.

Thank you for the cordial reply, blueweed. It's always nice to know thing about fish you never knew existed.
How big do they become when fully grown in captivity? In the Wild?
Where is their natural habitats located?
Are they gregarious or anti-social?

Thanks again.
See ya around,
David

hi! pond is 17 x 11 x 3 feet.

WOW! That's impressive. Your pond calculates to be close to 4,200 U.S. gallons. Nice size for a pond. Lucky Platinum RTC.
