Thanks matey, although they are very picky on what they eat, they have grown lots ey :D

Picky? mine eat what ever they can get! My first one went from 3-4" to 18" in just a couple of months, it's like a hoover with a tail.

Nice fish though mate. I feel a weird catfish race coming on as albino rtc are proving problematic!

Bring it on dude lol, i got a 6" artc too, hes quite the specimen and eats anything, the rtc in the same tank has grew lots in the past couple of weeks, he eats more than all of them put together ;)

The platinum rtc might not be as problematic as we thought m8, but very costly indeed :naughty: And no i wont tell you where im getting mine from :ROFL: thats if i get him that is ;)
 
On another note, if you notice in the pics, the white on the fish is turning yellow :( i should have known from past experience that the bogwood in their tank was a bad idea, so ive took it all out and giving them a white healthy diet only to try and bring out the white again ;)

I have the offer of a free 21" artc and the same place can get albino artc but aggresion issues from it to other catfish worry me there. Just keep an eye on it mate.

Costly fish scare me a little too, i'm guessing if you've found one it's going to be at least a 3 if not 4 figure sum to buy? i will be extremely jealous of one that's for sure! Go on, share your souce;):naughty:

I know what i'd like to get but not found one over hear yet, just in America and the far east, and not aware of anyone in the uk with one. I'll just be keeping that one quite for now:D

Huh, never had that problem and mine have always been with bog wood.
 
Yeah it is a 4 figure sum but i think well worth it considering. The bogwood issue has been going on with me for a long time m8, i had the same prob with my large tank, never thought it would happen again but it has. The large cats are now getting there white back after 3 months so a cod and squid diet does work to bring the white back ;)

PM me with ur plans and i spill the beans on my source ;)

That may be it then, mine mostly have a herring diet now.

4 figure sum well out of my reach right now:(.............consider me debating PMing my plans, but you're on strict orders not to copy;):ROFL:
