Hi all, I'm very curious to what happened to all the small filamentosums that were sold about 6months ago? Sadly mine was doing great on market shrimp and was 8" until be busted out of my tank one night and commited suicide. I am very surprised on how slow they grow for a cat that gets so big?? So what happened to yours???????????
 
Mine is doing well, about 12" now which is really slow in growth compared to any other shovelnose species. Its growing out in a 480 gallon pond with my planiceps and a cichla temensis. Only eats feeders still though...and since I'm not at home for a few months right now it will probably not get converted to some other form a food be it night crawlers or pellets for several more months.

Cool, can you post some pics please?
 
Mine is about 11" right now. Going into a 350 gal pond after the 4000 is complete.
 
I'll post up some pics Jay when I'm home again over thanksgiving because thats where my fish are, at the moment I'm at college and not able to take pics of them.
