*SOLD* Tuesday March 22nd, 2005

This is my Tiger Shovelnose catfish(Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum). I bought him from a fish store when he was barely 5 inches head to tail. You can see him taking the first meal - a piece of prepared beefheart. He can eat enormous amount of food if given, but I limit it to maybe 2 full meals a week. His growth rate are highest amoung all the fish I have kept, around 1.5 to 2.5 inches a month. This catfish can grow up to 5 foot in the wild, a little less(at 3') when kept in captivity.
