That is correct.
Predatory had em $45 a pop.
let’s see the golden!
Will do! I should be getting him this coming Tuesday.
Update as of 10/6/2023
the wels is looking good. At this point I’m not sure if his tail will fully recover as it keeps getting ripped. He has grown again. In his new tank, he has grown. He swims much more in the water column. He has been much more active. I am debating what to do over winter as where I am I expect it to get colder soon. These are cold hardy fish but I can’t risk anything. This guy has been in my care for almost a year now!

IME 70-72 is still pretty “normal” for them in the winter. My guy is unheated with cold water autodrip and i stay at 68-72 at the lowest temps of the year. Temperament and feeding are the same as my summer temps of 74-76. I witnessed more fluctuations in feeding and activity with euro wels and colder temps surprisingly.
That’s very interesting. He’s in about 70 degree water right now so I don’t want it to really go past 64ish degrees. Let’s see how he does. He hasn’t fasted for me at all except when I moved him the first time.
Are u in a garage? Might try to wrap the tank in insulation foam… twin wall polycarb lids help the cause as well to trap heat from filters/pumps
Indeed I am. Yes I may. I already insulated the bottom with a special styrofoam. I will def take you up on your recommendation.Are u in a garage? Might try to wrap the tank in insulation foam… twin wall polycarb lids help the cause as well to trap heat from filters/pumps
