POST YOUR ]V[ONSTER CATS HERE!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Joey,
I am so incredibly jealous of that hybrid. If you ever need to rehome it, or it dies unexpectedly please contact me. Don't know if you have seen my catfish anatomy thread, but it would be exciting to work on that hybrid. I've done both niger and tsn skulls before. Thinking of them combine boggles the mind lol. Guess you are one of the rare few with a larger tsn x niger hybrid, and I am one of the few with a larger marble x rtc hybrid. Hope he gets huge, and keep us updated here in the catfish section.
Cliff

I've had them a for bout 12 months, so I figured out their diets pretty well, jst general tips would be good,
sexing? I've figured the bigger of the two (Lois) is the female as she is broader and Gordon named after the legend (Gordon Tallis) is the male, more aggressive and a darker coat.... any luck with breeding?
The only tankmate to survive is my ever so arrogant Oscar,
Kenn to expand to a 6footer soon, wat my chances of breeding then?
I plan on simulating a river current somehow... might chuck in a pr of ol' boots and a shopping trolley, now that u mention the Ol brissy river...
Cheers

I have had mine for about the same length of time. I have finally managed to get mthem to hand feed, but it took so long, they are extremly skittish at times.

I don't know if they are able to be bred in a tank though. All I have ever heard is that due to the size of breeding adults you need a small pond, have a sudden change in salinity (to create the feel of changing seasons) and have a temp of 32 degrees. But i bet it is just lack of ol' boots and shopping trolleys.
