LOOKS LIKE ITS BLEACHED OUT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THE BOTTOM TRY PUTTUNG HIM WITH DARK SUBSTRATE
Thanks for all the compliments. I'm happy to hear that others have seen this happen to their cats, and that it can be normal. He's been slowly getting little areas gold over a period of several months, but it color exploded when I put him in the 600 gallon tank (don't worry, its just a grow out tank). He's been on the same color bottom since he was 3.5", so I don't think its a substrate thing. He will change his base color though depending if the lights are on or not. Oh, and he was 24" or so about a 2 months ago and he's just now about 1.5 years old.

Congrats. These guys are awesome. He's so interactive. Even when he's full and won't eat anymore, he's still swimming around at the front of the tank where ever I am standing. He's completely interested in whats going on 'beyond the glass'.
Beautiful! My TSN is getting some gold on him as he's getting older. Nothing even close to that but I definatly think its just pretty color and nothing wrong with him. I LOVE your tank! I'm a catfish junkie so that is ideal for me. Got more pics posted somewhere?
He most definitely does. He's grabbed and taken off with nets, and tried to swim off with my 30" graspers. He loves to follow you and the the magnet around when you clean the acrylic. He's fun.KNH;3742352; said:

Cool! And thanks. It's really fun to have these guys in there. I couldn't be happier with the dimensions for right now. It's 8'x4'x30". There is a link in my signature to the 600 gallon tank. The thread is pretty long, but there are photos of moving the tank as well as pictures and videos of the fish. I haven't updated it for a few weeks. I've been too busy. Once the holidays are cleaned up and I have my garage back to normal, I want to get the driftwood put together and in the tank as well as video of all the filtration.
looks good...one of my tsns is mostly gold, though it has lost some with added size...i hope it returns...i am shoked at the speed of there growth...i had a rtcxtsn for 4months (the one that died from a tank crash)and it got to 13" from 3"....my tsns on the other hand are almost 5 months old and they have gone from 3-3.5" to 16" and one is pushing 20"
...and around 3-4" across the head....they are becoming my besties
and i thought my silver aro was growing fast

Yeah, my guys did that. They've slowed down lengthwise now, but have been packing on the pounds. I can't get my hands all the way around the TSN and the RTCXTSN. Last night I fed at least 2 cups of a mix of hikari food (mostly massivore) and then the big TSN also put away a half pound of shrimp. I guess they've grown more that I realized since I put him in the 600, especially the TSN. He wasn't even grotesquely bloated and miserable, but just swimming around with a nice full belly.
