Thanks Mitch!!! That makes me feel a LOT better! I guess he's just VERY well fed for this week How large of stones do you suggest putting in there? I used to have a bunch of about 1" - 2" sized decorative rocks in there, but I took them out after I saw him sucking on them!

Wellll . . . stuffed him till he was holding food in his mouth, fad him more again later, did a 50% water change, moved him to a -=TEN=- gallon tank, left him in there for about 4 hours till I had to go to bed, so put him back in the big tank (worried any acid in bile would be too concentrated in ...

How much should I overfeed him? He's got a HUGE stomach right now but just wont stop eating!! I think I fed him to the point where he was having to hold the food in his mouth instead of swallow so I stopped, should I keep going till he just wont eat anymore?? and how long after feeding him that much ...

I have a small backup tank, I think about a 20 long & narrow, should I just transfer some of the water out of the 125 into the small one so he can do his business alone in it and then put him back? I'm worried about the Arowana dieing from his stomach acid, or would putting the cat in that small of ...

If he regurgitates will that harm the water in the tank and jepordize him or the 13" Arowana that is in the tank with him? It's about 125 gal 6 ft long. How long after feeding him would it take for him to regurgitate or do I just keep feeding him till he does it then immediatly change the water ...

:shock: :roll: I have a 15" Red tail cat that decided to eat 2 of the flaps that direct the water out of the power heads. The first disapeared about 2-4 weeks ago, when I got home from work today the other was missing and I can actually feel them in his belly (he will let me rub his belly while ...

Thanks for the info as usual I didnt think he would, he always seems to spit them out, just that picture of the RTC with that huge quartz in it's belly freaked me out Have a nice night!

That thread was more about gravel, I am talking about a 1 1/2 inch decorative rock, that will not go through the intestine. But like I said, I dont even know if he has actually ate one or not, just saw the pictures or a RTC that had eaten a huge rock and it worried me? Is that not normal and the ...

Believe me, If I could afford it I'd have one :grin: I have another question . . . I have some decorative rocks that are just small enough to fit in his mouth, I had not seen any info about these fishes (besize their huge size at an aquarium) so I did not know they swallow stuff till yesterday. When ...

I was told it's a 110, but the dimensions are the same as a 125 I believe, at least the legnth and width are.

and why is it starring out the middle when I put in cichlids?? ( C I C H L I D S ) Is that a bad word to use on a catfish forum

I also have a new red tail catfish, about 12" long and have a few questions about feeding. I'm going to stop feeding him live goldfish feeders as recomended to aviod disease, but it was suggested to feed him frozen silversides in their place. Is this a good idea? Also, I need a better idea of how ...
