My catfish

[lloyd378]

This morning, I walked into the living room and accidentally turned on the lights full brightness without the slow sunrise setting. It was a blessing in disguise as I actually captured a pic of one of my bumblebee cats. I had not seen a trace of them since I added them to the tank ( being nocturnal and all). Well, right after snapping this quick pic, it took off and disappeared under my large wood feature!

I had a few Centromochlus orca once.......never see em but they are cool looking! View attachment 10720

That is an amazing little catfish! I’d like to add one to my planted 75g….

I think the hoplo cats are going to grow like weeds. One of the regular figured out it could just shove its mouth into the end of the turkey baster during feeding time. I missed that picture but here are a couple of them feeding.

None of those fish have ended up in the hoplos' mouths yet?

Nope, they aren't predatory and their mouths are to small.

When I was at PetWorks I saw their Hoplo cats and I could not believe how much mine has grown since Ive had it since summer. Im still thinking of moving mine into the Oscar tank with a few more added to the school. Just such an active outgoing cat.

Cool find! These are very attractive looking cats when they fill out.

Hopefully some power feeding will get some flesh on these guys.

Oh my, they are skinny

 

[fishguy1978]

Oh my, they are skinny

Yes they are. I need to be careful with feeding that they don't blow their gut.

Fed the new Orinocodoras eigenmanni some blood worms and they have nice round bellies

Hard to see with the blending camo

Filling out nicely.

Shared hide with a half dozen banjo cats.

I was only able to get pictures of 2 of the Tatia intermedia wood cats.

Moved the O. eigenmanni into the 120g now that they have healthy looking bellies. One dove into a bamboo cave with one of the striped Raphaels so we will see how communal they are.

The hoplo are looking big! Mine are doing well, still looking for a third one. Just haven’t had a chance to call PetWorks to see if they got another batch in. I wanted all albino but ended up with one of each and wiil just wait to see what I can get.
