I'm terribly upset by this and he/she died actually on Sunday. Kitty's the reason why I bugged my husband for 6 months years ago for the 265g...we are in the process of upgrading too for both cats. My profile pics been the same since I joined here...I am truly bummed. I can't believe a female (yes, I"m a woman) would be so upset over a catfish, but I was really attached to him. He was handfed and really tame. I got him as a pup and was real excited the day I brought him home...Ugh...I had hubby bury him in the backyard. Couldn't throw him out in the trash, as silly as that sounds. My kids got upset when I had to tell them too. But, that's why we have critters, to teach them the lesson of life and death.
Achara's are an awesome catfish...I definitely learned a lot. Someday I will have another, when I'm ready. I've an achara x tsn hybrid now that I've had for a few years so at least I get to watch this one grow. I still have the other 'monsters' growing, but kitty was my baby...my first...

) But its like losing a child sometimes when this happens. I'de have buried her too.. when I lost my fire eels a few years ago It hit me really hard... still gets me misty eyed as they where my intro to "monster" fish so def understand where your coming from. I must say I am jealous of your hybrid! our tsn/rtc hybrid the bigger he/she gets the more fond I grow... and the more I debate if the day ever comes when my cats start trying to eat my gar which will go.. I've only had him/her less then a year.. can't imagine the bond that can be developed over years.
