The Furry Kind


My Cat Looks like this ...
What Cats do you keep? Peanut10

This is Peanut, AKA: Nutter Butt, Baby Cakes, Mixed Nuts ... lol
Not that I look but his junk looks like a brazil nut :rofl:
He was abandoned at birth & was the runt. I bottle fed him from day 1, now he is a little over a year old. Poor lil thing didn't even have any hair yet when I found him, was during a bad storm & he was almost drown. The mother cat had them in my dads boat, still don't know how she got under the tarp.

Send me some! The only LSF I trust around here sells them for $32.99/ea or 2 for $60.00 I think that is a little overboard.

What's this no love for big cats? At home I have a channel cat that started out at 3" and is now 16" and if anyone had them locally my kids want a red tailed cat.

I don't know if I'd get a few, but once the one I have broke the foot mark I started liking this one. It went from hiding all the time to um. underwater puppy. Smile I've been told the red tails are even more friendly once they get used to you.

What's funny is that someone gave me a few bags of salmon based dog food to feed it today. Smile

32.99 ea for petricola? geesh............
the highest LFS around here is 14 ea, at our swaps IF anyone happens to have them, about 4 buck on average at 1''

my first ones I got 6 for 30 bucks, second was 6 for 35 bucks,
When our one club guy moved, i got his 8 for 30 I think it was.
If i ever get set up for these to spawn, I'll think about shipping.

Currently I have 2 Synodontis eupterus (one 7" female in the 100 gal, and one 3" unsexed in the 45 gal) and, 2 Corydoras blochi in one of the JD fry grow out tanks.

I love the Synodontis eupterus I just picked up three more a couple weeks ago. I traded five full grown about 6 mo. ago for some Peacocks. This is what caused me to get three more I missed seeing them zip around the tank!

They are by far my favorite catfish for a cichlid tank. They're tough enough to hold their own with CAs and Africans, but their mouths aren't big enough to be a threat to anyone bigger than fry. Plus they're really good looking too. Very Happy

I've never seen the eupterus ones before. They look very similar to those hi finned sharks.

I've had good luck with the sun catfish, horabagrus brachysoma, too. They survive fairly well with everyone except Oscars. They even get along with most aquatic turtles too except the eating machines that are red ear sliders.
