Bought A Catfish This Morning

Bristle noses do  grow pretty quick, and males get larger than females. Are you moving further south or staying in the far north? I have had bristle noses in a 1000L pond year round here in coastal central Queensland.

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

 
I can supply pictures of the huge females that grew out in the pond, but no pictures of them in the pond, you would never see them in there and even when we emptied the pond it was only when there was only a few mm (yes mm) of water left in the bottom that we where able to catch them out. Fast and stubborn critters. My peppered corys also bred in the pond and I had 54 babies survive. Looked amazing when we caught out the sub adult bubs and had them cruising the length of the old bath tub as a tight knit school. Sadly no pics of that event as it was before I had a digital camera.
 


 
That sounds amazing!

His name is Leopold!  We found a name yay haha, he remained nameless, or just being called Catfish for quite some time.  I'm happy with his name.
