Now that's what I'm talkin about. Still gonna do the pond with the greenhouse diskboy?

If my lfs had them I would pay $100. lol, but there's virtually no catfish to be found in helena, montana except plecos and cories. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just very small pet store here. Petco doesn't even carry IDs, or channels. They have just plecs and cories also.

....too bad you dont have someone to send you crazy stuff like jau....

mine is still very shy. But has eaten almost everything offered to him so far ... earthworm is by far his fave. Any meaty things he likes, but frozen bw/brine cubes less so. Those are hard to feed anyway.

That's what I'm going to do eventually, but the metal sided 10'

dude you have to watch those Pacu they steal the food right out of my RTCs mouth and they ate my Arowana. Plus i caught a 8" Jaguar Cichlid and 2 days later its gone. Nothin left.

Well Red has hit the 14" mark. He takes whole Tilapia filets out of my hand and eats pellets now. Also got another RTC awhile back only 3" now might go pick up a 6-8" one from a guy that cant house it anymore in a week or 2. Then i have my Hybrid which is about 5" now and the TSN is still at 4" hes a slow grower.

My pacu is a beast she's about 8" now. Eats everything. I swear she was really mistaken at the lfs and is really a piranha.
