Updates on my big Catfish

I call it how I see it.... end of story

600g for that many fish that size it massively overstocked ...end of story

I agree it's getting too full, but, if you'd actually read the thread, you would know that I'm already working on that in two ways.
1) I'm plumbing in my 385 gallon pond and most likely moving the Niger cats into it.
2) That's why I'm doing extensive homework on building an indoor pond in my garage that's around 3,000 gallons.

Please 'read the articles, and not just look at the pictures'.

Absolutely amazing!! That TSN could eat mine for BREAKFAST How long did she take to get that massive?? My little guys are going into a 600g pond as soon as I get to the pet store to buy a new heater.

Thank you. I work hard to keep everyone comfortable and happy. She, as well as most of my big cats, are about 2.5 years old, and it seems that recently they are all going into another significant growth spurt. I'm working on making changes to all the set ups to accommodate this, and I'm having to work fast.

Thanks! I think it's all my baby talk to them that does it. (I can't help it. I just think they're super (ugly) cute. Amazing and weird, but still somehow cute. I guess it's partly that they're so friendly, interactive, and aware of everything going in the whole room.)

Nice collection of cats.

Thank you. I really enjoy them and love to sit and watch them lumber around.

What do you feed your Niger catfish? I just got my first one and know very little about them. All your cats are awesome btw. Building a pond is much easier than u may think can't wait to see u start that

They're a fun, obnoxious group fish. Very entertaining.

I feed them all sorts of stuff. When I first got them they were maybe 4 inches. They ate everything from blood worms, to hikari sinking carnivore pellets, to tetra bits, to hikari sinking wafers (pretty much the small version of algae wafers). Now they eat massivore and sinking cichild pellets, NLS jumbo and large fish sinking pellets, and hikari algae waffers. Plus, they'll eat random 'little' chunks of fish I throw in. They are not picky eaters. They'll eat anything little that doesn't move. They are not hunters.

And, I've been following your thread on your pond for ideas.
