Anyone here able to properly house a 26" cat?

Nice. In my opinion those are some of the best looking cats.

And they are good to eat!

I would have them in everyone of my tanks if the darn tings stayed smaller than 12".

I have an empty 7 foot tank.

It always ticks me off when I read in other forums (MFK) of people who want to grow something out for a while and return them to the store for another when it get too big. Especially when they are talking things like the RTC, Arowana, other large cats, etc.

A lot of people love to buy the fish first with the intention of buying it a bigger tank later. I really hate this practice! Tank first then get fish that will live in it comfortably.

Sorry for the rant! Your thoughts?

Agreed!!!!! I will have one of those in my 10,000 gallon tank or pond.

its a neat catfish but i dont think 80$ is gonna happen. given how much heft those things have i really doubt many people have the space for it... let alone the insurance to cover a broken tank (AKA water damage )

Who knows now. If L&I continues to **** me, I may be selling everything here real soon.

That would be sad!

Yes it would be. Lawyer is frantically working on it. 14 months I have been dealing with this. It has finally come down to where I cant do it anymore. If they dont decide to grant lost wages, Im done.

well shoot madness that sucks... if your looking to loan out a larger tank lemme know.. i could always make room for a big one . at least then you could get it back when time/money allows. anyways GL in your legal affairs.
