Re: Can anyone help me out?

Wes is about the only person I haven't reached out to yet. One of my LFS stated next time they order from Thailand they'll put the order in. Another LFS I just started going to stats they get them frequently and they as well will notify me when they restock. I'm hoping an online vendor from North ...

Re: Ompok Siluroides

By chance you wouldn't happen to know their growth rate would you? Mine seem to be approaching the 3-3.5" mark after almost 2 weeks. So I'm assumin its a quick one. Yet again I've been feeding them at least once a day and as of the last week they'll eat as many minnows as they can fit a day.

Re: Channel Cat Mistake

Yeah I'm clueless to what was wrong with him. I released him after being bagged for four hours and he swam off fine. I did observe he looked very weak. He couldnt swim straight or anything. He's still breathing a little harder then I'd like but he looks good. Fed him some bloodworm and he ate some ...

Re: Ompok Siluroides

Bought around 40 little rosy minnows for my bass tank (only paid for 10 the person gave me extra) and I decided to keep the leftovers in the 20 with my cats. Checked on them to see if maybe the larger of the two got one yet or if the fish looked sick. Sure enough just came up an the smaller of the ...

Channel Cat Mistake

Just picked one up a few hours ago. My 55 I was putting it in was cloudy from a pH chemical I used and it’s been a nightmare trying to clear it up. So I thought while acclimating I'll do a 25% water change and wash my canister filter media. So I was washing the filter media and I'm hearing like a ...

Re: Ompok Siluroides

Its the weridest thing Im a big carp fishermen so I can cast my bait out let it sit for like 6 hours and wont ever feel the need to reel it in or cast it again. I have so much patience with everything else but fish growing. The most ironic thing is I had two choices with the ompoks either 2.5" and 5 ...

Re: Ompok Siluroides

For now I am planing on buying for my hobby needs. When I finish up college with my business degree I'd like to get into the fish trade business. Thats what I had figured with the growth. It sounds like if you give them the space thats what they will grow to. Now whenever I get my Wels I'll be ...

Re: Ompok Siluroides

Ompok Siluroides

Just got two at 2.5 inches on Tuesday and they're an awesome fish. I have a quick question about the one he's always a darker color then the other and hides at the top of the tank behind my heater. The other slightly larger is usually on the bottom a lighter color and usually swims around a lot ...
