Tank demenisons are
6feet Long
20inches High
18inches Wide

or if you like the idea of a "pet catfish" that gets tame and large, there are several very nice looking pimelodids and others that reach a max length of about 1-2 feet wich is managable in captivity. I was going to start a community tank BUT you have peaked my interest.... what types are as 'cute ...

Hunter died yesterday. It has been a long and agonizing time with the pain of watching him fight to live and knowing that all I did wasn?t good enough. I hope my posting here and sharing pictures will help the next person who might have a RTC. I unknowingly purchased him in a pet store and did my ...

I will email you pictures of him. I would like to help anyone else so they don't go through what I am going through. Everyone posting here I appreciate all the input. So please understand what I'm going to say. I have neverendingly checked and rechecked his water and it is good. I'm not taking ...

On another note....if you are feeding the Jumbo Shrimp/Krill from Tetra be advised that i had similar symtems appear in a 2 ft silver arowana and a 16 inch Frontosa...that were feeding exclusively on this product. The symptoms arose after opening a new can. Good luck....don;t give up! Thank you ...

Picture of complete fish. you can compare to others I posted last week of when he was healthy.

Look at the other pictures I posted before he got ill or attack... I think it's illness because he have full red fins front and back. He's on KanaPlex and I removed the pleco and snail today. I put them in a 30 gal and now I'm looking at that pleco and he's 12" front to back on the 30 gal. I ...

I'll run the test again. BUT here is a question I just noticed that his back right side fin in gone down to a numb. Two whiskers are half gone. Is it possible that the apple snail or the pleco that are in there with him are attacking or eating his fin and whisker? The whiskers happened last night ...

Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 ph 6.8 I watched him do it and he said it was good there was nothing wrong with my water. The Nitrate / Nitrite results he said good and I looked at the card and I know one was blue the other one was yellow. So I think 0 is the answer (the one at the top of the card) I ...

UPDATE: Still no change. I have a second filter 2217 installed. I also am treating him with KanaPlex every other day. The guy in the fish store said to stick with the filteration system I have if I wanted two so it would be easier on me when buy filters etc. He gave me the KanaPlex and said take the ...

Hi Super Mom BTW nice photo's, also try feeding him on prawns from time to time, it will help in keeping his red tail red, however some do tend to loose the intense red colouration as they get older. He's been only eating freeze dried krill/shrimp which i think is the same as pawns. He/she never ...

I don't know how to add photos to my profile like you did Medaka. (You would think I would know how since I'm admin of my own forums LOL) So I uploaded these images to my site for everyone's viewing of Hunter when he was eating. Isn't he the cutest :razz: http://www.wolfbattalion.com/upload/store ...

Matt, Don't know if you remember me mentioning my tank set up was for some fish as a beginner. Hunter was purchased as a 6" catfish to clean bottom of the tank (remember my 18 wheeler). I never intended to have a tank with one hugh fish and a little filter. I've come this far so now I have pay the ...

Again I was misinformed when I purchased this tank set up.

I'll be stopping on the way home from work and getting another filter like you discussed here.

Thanks for all the advice. I have a canister Eheim 2217 hooked up to the tank. I think I'm going to look at a larger system for him this weekend.

Advice is to make imediate water change combined with a malachite/methylene 'dye' bacterial treatment (but I would personally use one of the new 'organic' bacterial treatments) Any questions about the above advice don't hesitate to ask, I will keep an eye on this post. 1. I change 1/3 water in his ...

Sorry to bother you again. I did the water change. Nitrite and Amonia are 0 PH is 6.8 But I was reading oxygen section in Shane's World and it mentioned gills curled. I went and checked pictures you have of Red Tails and they don't have them curled forward like my guy has. I have air pump with a 18 ...

Thanks! Panaque sp. cf. nigrolineatus`xingu` Is the proper name of my pleco 125 gal ph 6.8 80 degrees 2 Eheim canister filter 1715 and 1713 Three bridges One large drift wood One large plant (changed all the time because my plecos are eating it) Feed once a day (varity blend, shrimp, dried blood ...

I have three Brazilian Red Jewels. Well had three. I just came home to find one at the bottom of the tank, white and dead. This is not the first time this has happened. In the past year I have lost two others. I gave up on them. Then I got a little one and he's fine, about 3months I've had him. Then ...

Thanks for the reply. I got this catfish to keep the bottom of my tank clean. Being a novice when the guy in the store said he'll keep it clean I bought him cause he was pretty. WELL after fish starting missing and he started getting bigger I went on the net and discovered what I had. I got another ...

I'm new on this forums and I hope I posting in the right area. I have a Red tail. I've had him since he was 6" now he is about 18". Love him to death. His name is Hunter (Catfish Hunter) He has started in the last two weeks hanging out in the corner placing himself vertical or semi Vertical. He hasn ...
