Free 12 inch Red tail catfish. He's getting too big for my tank. He ate a rock i had in there the other day and had a bowling ball shaped belly(threw it up last night) which just convinces me that he will truly eat anything.
I had one that was the size of your little finger,I paid 85$ bucks for.In a year and a half it had gotton over 12 icnchs and ate every single fish in the tank.It was a beast.
I feel your pain. I bought one many years ago. He still had his yolk shack when i got him. When I final let him go he was 32" long and was a male with the brightest tail i had ever seen. I ended up donating it to the TN aquarium. As far as i know he is still there.....
