Finally shot a little video of my pets in the big tank I built a year ago. Really have grown from the little fellows they were

Sweet sight! How big are the fish and the tank? Looks great. Do they fight? Just want to learn more before I get a community like that. The blue cat's fins are tattered and Pookie is missing half of his left pectoral spine but other than that he looks solid, looks like he runs the tank.

Pookie had that fish when I caught him. Its almost healed back up but it is slow regrown ng the fin to the spine. The blue cat had same issue from getting stuck in some tubing. His are almost grown back. The channel cat occasionally gets beat up from pookie because he antagonizes him bad! They get along pretty good otherwise. The tank is about 1000 gallons plus filtration. Easiest tank I've ever had.

Nice. Thanks. The channel pokes at the flathead? I'd never thought.

Can you tell us about the growth rates of your three cats?

I know you told us but I forgot - what happened to Freckles, your first w/c flattie you had kept?
