AM>Hey:
AM>As far as I know any true catfish will grow until:
AM> the tank ain't big enough any more,
AM> the food stops coming,
AM> something kills it.
AM>I've had several catfish, one was albino, all would eat anything
AM>including smaller fish. One liked braunschweiger and cheese, also
AM>cat food pellets. He grew to be about 10" long in a standard 10 gal.
AM>(U.S.) tank, looked awesome. Try cutting down on the food, or throw
AM>in some cheap feeders to distract him from the Zebra. Some will
AM>disappear overnight, advantage being that plenty of food will be
AM>available without rotting in the water. Of course, I had a catfish
AM>which would kill any minnows that came near him, and eat them later,
AM>defeating the "live food" plan! By the way, "fishing minnows" (bait)
AM>are generally cheaper than "feeder fish" (pet store nomenclature).
AM>Well, over here they are, anyway. I'm tired, you're bored, seeya

Hi A. Mcashan,
I had noticed that some of my White Cloud Minnows had disappeared!
Maybe the Leopard cat ate them? I will have to re-house him/her because
apparently it can grow to 15" or more in length, it should look pretty
spectacular if it does, thanks for the info
Cya, Nigel.
