here is one of my cats just to get this section up and running for you gary

and another

Thanks!

I know Corys - I know plecs....but the "other" cats I'm clueless about.

What kind are they? Any detail info you can give us?

And...as you'll find out...I'll take as many pics as you have time to post. Love 'em!!

Thanks again.

the fish in the first pic is commonly called a yellow tail cat (Phractocephalus hemiolopterus)(red tail cat) X (pseeudoplatystoma fasciatum) (tiger shovelnose cat) which was originaly breed as a food fish but has found its way into the hobby but thankfully wont get as big as the red tail cat (around 24")
and the second picture is a banjo cat (Bunocephalus coracoideus) which are very peacfull an reach a size of about 5" normaly they spend their time burried in the sand.
like me catfish

great looking cats. I once caught a baby channell cat in the river trying to get bait fish, put it in my tank, and it just kept growing. thats about the only cat other then synodontis i have ever kept. maybe when i stretch my arms to do some SA/CA setups I'll get something interesting like you have.

well i think they are worth i have a lot more catfish in my tanks than the two above but i have only got a camara phone at the moment so its not so easy to get very good pics
have you still got the channel cat ?

I know how you feel, i only have a camcorder which only the snapshot funtion works on it. make the best of what you have i guess.

Ahhh...didn't rcognize the banjo.

Very cool.

I'm very interested in cats. I just don't have MTS bad enough yet to have space for a bunch.

I think you coined a new phrase.

Nice cat. How big is it.

here are a few more pics of the yellow tail

Very neat pics. Is he very active for you? What is their full grown sizes? What do you feed him? Thanks

Mike

the tank size is 6ft x 3ft x 2ft which is filltered by a 4ft sump tank with a 2ft trickle tower, and it is not the biggest fish in the tank bet your curious now aint ya
