Haha... yeah Jacques Cousteau haha... About the pacu - really? I've heard of the manhood anecdotes but not digits. Where could I learn more? I did NOT like it at all how close and attentive the 2 pacu were, I had to lightly push and kick them away.

The biggest pacu I'd guess around 30-40lbs.

:) From what I read and imagined, the south americans would throw them on the banks and the sun would dry them up. IDK if they rotted or began to rot first and then got dried or if the sun was strong enough to dry them first. Then these dried mummified bodies were used for firewood.

Yes, that was the unfinished 10K. The shipping fee and my inexperience with shipping prohibit me from offering shipping to prospective adopters. It's always been pickup only. I do appreciate your consideration though, thank you!

Phil said surely rose queen - a hybrid of midas and vieja synspillum. What do you think of that?

IME catfish on average are no different from scaled fish when it comes to withstanding meds. I almost never make any med dose corrections for catfish, except for rare exceptions, e.g. gulper catfish... and there are more sensitive fish in every class of fish - it pays to know who they are and what the complicating factors are before a treatment.

Hi Logan! :) Thank you and your uncle Dan and aunt Carie and their friends Bradley and Hailey for your visit and generous support of our humble effort. Yes, it was some coincidence - 5 min after you had left I stumbled upon a walking catfish crawling across the parking lot in the rain, that's the one I grabbed :) The deformed TSN has no nickname so "Sock Puppet" is funny, fitting, and accepted :)

Thank you!

Thank you, Dean! Noted. The white midas in the jerk tank is a female, still, yes, dangerous. Clarias are a great fish, so incredibly athletic and smart with a bursting personality.

No, Alex didn't know the species. Thank you, I love learning!

It's a spawning season, so there are lots of brutal and festive activities :) There are Nile and Blue tilapia, Zebra Tilapia, Mayan cichlid, Vieja hybrids, 1 midas, 1 dovii, 1 jag, 2 jd, purple labeo (the alpha), Asian RTC, perhaps forgetting couple others. As you know we don't feed live. All these are for sale / adoption.

i can't see your comments, where are they?

You'd know better obviously but I do see them regularly and reply duly.

I definitely noticed and appreciate it, not only with these but with eg the invisible Jeremy Wade swearing-at-a-surubi comment:) Either way, something is probably up if Twasbrilling can't see them. I want my comments to be visible to all in case anyone can benefit from seeing them so I will have to maybe look at RUclips support.

We got 11 catfish back then in 2018 and Kuma ate probably 4-5 before I had enough and transferred it to the jumbo 4500. Right now it's too small/slender even for the 1800. ... Yes, losing 25% of fish was hurtful enough to remember.

One of the walking catfish that survived Kuma stayed head first inside the mouth overnight didn't it? It really speaks to the toughness of walking catfish in my opinion, that one according to the walking catfish thread was only slightly banged up and didn't need to be taken out while Kuma's equivalent event ended up with it getting its hindquarters skinned and nearly being killed! That thread also said the walking catfish that did survive until the September 2019 inspectors found them reached and even slightly exceeded 2 feet while getting quite thick as well. If this one gets to that size at one point or another, I think you would be greenlit to put it in the Fun-Size Kuma 4500/17K liter, considering a catfish like Tiggy the surubi is fine in there and he is only 20 inches while probably not as thick as an adult walking catfish. In fact, I think I actually quite like the idea of a Clarias/Brachyplatystoma combo! When this one clears quarantine, may I suggest growing it up with the zebra shovelnoses prior to its transfer to the 1800/7K liter with Dora and then hopefully the Fun-Size Kuma+piramutaba 4500/17K liter if big enough? That way there can be at least 2 and up to 4 of such intriguing combos:) Last but not least, in your opinion would now be a good time to pick a name? I'm thinking a reference to the classic joke about the chicken crossing the road - with appropriate modifications made for a walking catfish crossing a parking lot - might be appropriate.🤪

Thank you. You had named several fish in your prior recent comments which we did have, e.g., golden dorado and dovii. Are you new to the channel or watch just occasionally? Yes, new fish are always exciting, it's addictive, but if you are a regular viewer, you know that our problem right now is too many fish, which are not easy to combine with others, and too few tanks. We welcome any help in acquiring new tanks ;) Yes, a tank with FL fish has been in the plans for many years and this year we finally got a collector's license but there is no good tank to dedicate to it. I thought maybe the 10K but it looks I will need it for the fish we already have here.

:) and you better watch your step too

yes invasive and pests

Yes, they are. They are a kill on sight fish in SFL. We are licensed though to collect and keep them for public exhibition.

Used to be Prohibited but when the State gave up, C. batrachus alone was taken out of the whole prohibited family and transferred to Conditional.

I've been scarred before. If I can qt a wild fish, I do.

about 4 feet

For now this plan has been scrapped. There is no good way to protect the rubber lined bottom. The walls could be protected.

@Fish-Story I've seen people keep 10 catfish in a small pool I bet they would be OK the way it is. What about gravel on the bottom?

@@jamessutton3513 There has been a lot of discussion of this in the comments under the video where I spoke about it and also other places. One very useful discussion was between Russ aka Wednesday13 and me on the MFK. If you will, please read our exchange on pages 132-136, it begins with this post by Russ: www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/fish-story-aquarium-and-rescue-naples-fl-two-4500-gal-13x13x4-5.603969/post-8539239

@Fish-Story very interesting thread. I hope one day you can figure out how to do it. Especially if those piraiba are not the Peru species. Those Nile perches will get huge one day to. Selfishly I want to see the Paroons in there cruising but I understand the hesitation.

There are some IDS that are of such poor geneology that they don't exceed 1 ft in length even after several years but for an average IDS this tank would be too small IMHumO. I'd recommend a 2x bigger at least, 8x4x2, which will need to be upgraded to something 2x bigger yet in a few years.

@@Fish-Story yes bcs I'm planning to build a pond of about 10 feet by 9ft and in future to build a 50ft long one . So if i can keep them in a tank in their juvenile years to teach people about them , I can keep them for a few years in a tank

@@Fish-Story how big does a good gene IDS gets , here in India they easily exceed 1 feet in few years

@@thebeastfishkeeper9394 They should be more or less 2 feet after 1 year if fed and kept properly. With excellent genes, they should grow even faster. A lot of time they are underfed, either intentionally or because they are skittish and compete for feed inefficiently. I like your plan.

@@Fish-Story I am inspired from you man , i have kept iridescent sharks for long time and now I wanna grow my channel and educate people about big fish and tanks and show them u can do it if u dream it .

Translation: Very good indeed congratulations. Reply: Thank you! Glad to hear from a Brazilian.

Thank you :)

Certain time of year like right now, yes :)

That's funny but awful! :) I was saying Astronotus crassipinnis :)

@@Fish-Story "that's what she said" lol!

So who is your oscar targeting for a mate?

@@Fish-Story so it pretty interesting because she chases everyone else away from her favorite rock EXCEPT my 2 male gold Severums! She shakes her tail and head…bites at her rock and the Severums just hang around and watch her closely. Everyone else gets chased by her. I’m worried though and hope this breeding behavior stops soon since she’s getting pretty aggressive which I hate. She’s normally so chill but now shoes just mean! Anyways she basically has 2 Severum boyfriends! 🤣

@@tracycarter1185 That's interesting and, sorry, funny! Are oscars known to hybridize with severums at all? I've never heard of this but I am cichlid-challenged.

@@Fish-Story yes it is funny! Totally ok to laugh. And no I’ve never heard of an Oscar being able to have babies with a Severum (or anything else for that matter). So I don’t think I’ll be getting any babies thankfully! With my luck my Oscar will be the first to ever hybridize Noooooo!!!! Lmao

I beg to differ but do value your great attention to our primitive operations here. The hi-fin has been good. Sometimes it gets a bit hungry because the eels are pigs but we try to compensate. They appear to be very slow growers. I don't think it added even one inch since the last update on it.

You are an oscar expert, so I trust your judgment :) They do look better, I kind of haven't paid attention and now that you are saying this, I note it too.

He has several Dovii, including a big one in the left 4500 gal

We have and film 7 dovii - 5 in 240, 1 in 300 timeout tank, 1 in 4500. Our focus is on the biggest fresh water fish of the world, everything else is a temporary diversion or a distraction :)

Why? I respectfully disagree. They enjoy the company of their own and they do not damage each other, so there is no reason to separate but to keep together. It's natural for them to behave like that.

They have colored up a lot.

Yup. On an unrelated topic, I wish I knew it in my teen years.

We were probably too dumb to care then

100% too dumb haha...

Tables turned. I am afraid the firewoods might consider the smallest piraiba a nice entrée. Almost time to move them to the 1800 gal.

Thank you. This is exactly my surprise that the potential parents fight. Perhaps this is a test of strength of the potential partner. Female catfish do this.

It's temporary because the carp were not feeding properly in the 25K

Yes on all counts. And oceanofjelly is right on the carp. On the pbass it is too temporary.

For the season, they have colored up.

Good memory. Yes Toothster's younger kin got a bite on the snout from Mr Wels on the first day but after that all has been totally peaceful between the two. I hope for the same with Toothster.

I can always count on you :)

Toothster's younger kin had got a bite on the snout from Mr Wels on his first day in the 25K but after that all has been totally peaceful between the two - the leerii spends a lot of time next to the wels. I hope for something similar with Toothster.

That was pre-25K :) Thank you for watching our old video.

@Fish-Story knowable information in your videos, Vic, thanks
