tnx guys.

thanks for the compliments on my packaging. Im so glad hes doing so well. sorry he ate your lima! lol. yeah my own research told me how aggressive and voracious they are. I thought his eye placement was a little unusual too-funny you said that. It really was sad where he was. They were going to throw him out the front door into the street, except they didn't know how to get him out of the tank.....hell, they didnt even know they had a gravel vac under the tank stand! much less how to work it!!!!!!! and your description of his previous home.....doesnt begin to do it justice. I've seen a lot of terrible tanks, but.....youd never believe it. honestly. I couldnt leave him there, and thanks for the help with everything necro. I know youll give him the best home possible.

ps- the 'child' just turned 22. lol. just.....emotional, and overly sentimental. keep pics up man! glad youre so happy with him, hes one strong mother..... been through a lot, and nothing seems to phase him, huh? lol. keep updated on how hes doing in the 1100. and always pics! and im in ny not nj!

lol, sorry about the location, they are the same anyways right? lol. jk, but yeah Ryan is doing great in his new pond. He's almost cleaned out all the goldfish and perch that were in there to cycle it to begin with. His belly is always full, and he eats the shrimp that I throw in on top of that. He's got a lil hiding spot behind the filter right now, but he switches from there to the fake plants depending on where lunch is. As soon as he is done with the last big goldfish in there I am going to try and keep him on a steady diet of shrimp. He's ate 4 goldfish and perch that were 3-5" long so far, and tons of shrimp. He's really insatiable. Hoping my other cats will be good, and so far he's not bothered them in his bigger housing. Don't have jau envy anyone, unless you like a real monster. Might have to sacrafice some of your others to have one lol.

Thought you guys might like to know that while in one of my smaller tanks the jau ate one of my 11" limas, and he himself is 12". Also he's been moved to the 1100 gal pond and is doing much better there. My rtc is 9" long from 1.5" in a little over 2 months. My 2 stone cats, and 1 black bullhead are all looking good and eating. They are insane, and are the roughest cats I've ever kept. My smallest stunted channel cat is in with them. The two other channels now reside in the 1100 gal tank. My two biggest limas that did not get eaten are doing great and are eating like champs now that they have less tankmates. My rtcxmarble catfish hybrid is doing good and is around 5" after 2 weeks. I have a new baby tsn that I am hoping is a corruscans. Not sure yet, but has a different head shape than my other two fasciatums did when I got them this size. I'll have to wait till he grows and his pattern starts to develope. My sharkcat is doing ok, and will have his own brackish tank shortly. Last but not least is my tsn x rtc hybrid. I've been feeding him every other day, sometimes once every three days. I've been feeding him tilapia fillets. Usually 1-2 lbs in one sitting. He always acts like he could eat more, and his belly is never plumped up from this so I may feed more and space his meals out a little. Like feed 3-4 lbs at once and wait 2-4 days before feeding again. I'll let you know how it works. I'll try to get some new pics on here next week.

it must be hard to get all this carnivorous food for ure cats living in the US. if u lived in malaysia ud have a much easier time at one third the price. plus we can get any fish cause import banns are unknown here.

I'm jealous, but catching worms in the middle of the night for just the cost of water sprayed on the ground is as cheap as it gets. I can usually catch about 2 lbs. a night of worms.

Ok here's the pics I've been promissing. Won't bore you with details you'll have to ask lol.
