New cats

First topic message reminder :

I just got 2 Synodontis ocellifer, well that's what we think they are. They are missing pretty much all of their fins but still have a bunch of spunk. They were headed to the freezer in the fish store I help out at, so I asked if I could have them and try to get them well. I now have them in a little 5g tank and treating them with melafix before they go into a real tank. I will get some pics up shortly!

Pretty cool looking fish. Even cooler that you brought them back from the brink.

They are so happy and spunky that I had to try! They still have a bunch of recouping to do but they are defiantly on the mend!

nice job fern, my dolphin jumped out today. found the only opening in the back, good thing my girl heard it flapping. his scales is pretty messed up.

ok so these guys have been in the 120g with some Copadichromis conophoros mchengas and one calvus and one red top lawanda. I haven't seen them much but could see their little whiskers sticking out from the pits they made under rocks... well one came out for a cruise tonight when I fed....And my lord he has grown! The one that came out is a good 4" now!!! They were barely 1.5" when I got them! His fins are fully healed and look fantastic!
Boy am I glad I have an 8' tank to put them in when they get too big for the 120g

nice save bringing them back from the brink.

they are doing very well and pushing 4" & 5" now

Very nice!!!!!!! No one would ever imagine what they looked like when you got them.

I'm very impressed with how well they have recovered! I'm so glad I managed to save them!

that is so awesome... glad you saved them!

I got some new pics. I had to move the bigger of the 2 into my 240g with my cyto mooriis, him and my male white top hara were fighting too much.


I would call him fully recovered Except for the short pelvic fin spine but nothing but time will fix that

Very nice!!!

That is a funky looking cat. Real cool!!

Ya they are pretty cool, they hit about 8-9" and are fine with cichlids.

Nice looking catfish, yeah post some pics i hope they get better!
