My buddy gave me his cat which got to big for his 5 gal, which I will make sure he never gets a fish to outgrow that again. But here it is, and I have no idea what it is, I don't know my cats to well, can you help me?? Hes about 4 inches and I am giving him night crawlers which he rapidly gobbles up.

Thanks, lol, yeah he aint getting another one of these, although it will probably outgrow my 30 gallon soon too.

Yeah, it is beautiful condition and very active.

Talk about being a monster too, when I put him in I had several 1 inch small swordtails in there with him, all thats left of them is one 3 inch male swordatil. It is baffling me though whether he ate them or not becasue he seems so small to have eaten them, but I looked around the tank to see if they jumped, but they are no where to be found.

i just got one from down at da walz martz plaze last week, and with in a week he has grown 1.5 inches in a 65 gal tank, got him for my pond. i had a nice 8 incher, but he bailed on me.

yeah its common for them to eat other fish, my 8 incher was in a "community wach" program, where he thought he was the mayor and ate all the citizens, and my lil 4 incher sucked down half a 2 in convict.

If you plan on keeping him start making arrangements now! They are quite hardy.

Its a baby channel cat. The spots will fade as it grows, and they are great for ponds w/ larger fish. I had 2, one was about 24" and the other was close to 30" Once I found a 15" koi missing its head floating in the pond....
