Hey Victor it’s me Logan from the tour yesterday. I had a great time and enjoyed it. It’s kind of funny how you found the walking catfish earlier after I mentioned it. Nice catch. Also Carie said she thinks you should name the deformed tiger shovelnose “Sock Puppet”. I have got her and my uncle (Daniel) to watch you often so hearing it being called “Sock Puppet” will make her day.
Hi Logan! :) Thank you and your uncle Dan and aunt Carie and their friends Bradley and Hailey for your visit and generous support of our humble effort. Yes, it was some coincidence - 5 min after you had left I stumbled upon a walking catfish crawling across the parking lot in the rain, that's the one I grabbed :) The deformed TSN has no nickname so "Sock Puppet" is funny, fitting, and accepted :)
Thank you!
What's the legality of walking catfish in FL? Conditional?
Used to be Prohibited but when the State gave up, C. batrachus alone was taken out of the whole prohibited family and transferred to Conditional.
Awww those fish in the jerk tank look like they’ve seen better days. Those are tilapia? Feeder fish correct? Or am I remembering this all wrong?
It's a spawning season, so there are lots of brutal and festive activities :) There are Nile and Blue tilapia, Zebra Tilapia, Mayan cichlid, Vieja hybrids, 1 midas, 1 dovii, 1 jag, 2 jd, purple labeo (the alpha), Asian RTC, perhaps forgetting couple others. As you know we don't feed live. All these are for sale / adoption.
you never know what will wander into your backyard in SFL.
:) and you better watch your step too
Are my comments showing up? I can't see them?
Edit: Looks like they're back now. I hope no more invisible comments from here on out.
i can't see your comments, where are they?
You'd know better obviously but I do see them regularly and reply duly.
I definitely noticed and appreciate it, not only with these but with eg the invisible Jeremy Wade swearing-at-a-surubi comment:)
Either way, something is probably up if Twasbrilling can't see them. I want my comments to be visible to all in case anyone can benefit from seeing them so I will have to maybe look at RUclips support.
Hi Victor 🖐🏻, how are you?
Can you remember months ago, I tould you that I keep Oscars wirh Angelfishes without any Problems?
Now I have at least a small simple Video on my Chanel to show you.
At Beginning the Oscars didn't care about the Angelfishes, even when the Oscars leg breading eggs.
I suppose, that this is so, caused this flat formed Apperiance. They look so different, that the Oscars don't really notice that the ,,Angels" are fishes too.
Hi Dangvil! Glad to hear from you. We are adequate. I hope you too. Yes, I remember this conversation. Watched your video too. Nice. Some other peers said they failed to keep oscars with angels but as we know there are a lot of variables and hence it is not uncommon to meet different outcomes. Our angels in the Cichlid growout 2.0 tank have been chewed up by someone, probably not the oscar, so they had to leave the tank anyway to a safer tank.
Clarius catfish and thats definitely a purple rose queen Cichlid. It's worth a few $$. That size sells for over $100 easily. Nice pickup lol I guess the guy didn't know 😅
No, Alex didn't know the species. Thank you, I love learning!
I would worry that the Male Midas would destroy the new guy, Vic, hope not
I’ve always loved the walking catfish they’re awesome. In my opinion. :)
Thank you, Dean! Noted. The white midas in the jerk tank is a female, still, yes, dangerous. Clarias are a great fish, so incredibly athletic and smart with a bursting personality.
are walking catfish not invasive and pests fishes?
yes invasive and pests
Yes, they are. They are a kill on sight fish in SFL. We are licensed though to collect and keep them for public exhibition.
@@Fish-Story orange jumpsuit or traditional black and white stripes? j/k
@@rembrandtshadows :) no, au naturel
Vic, would you say scaleless fish are more susceptible to infection, such as walking catfish, clown loache and the like, I always worry for them when adding treatments ???
IME catfish on average are no different from scaled fish when it comes to withstanding meds. I almost never make any med dose corrections for catfish, except for rare exceptions, e.g. gulper catfish... and there are more sensitive fish in every class of fish - it pays to know who they are and what the complicating factors are before a treatment.
You should do a video on how you treat and quarantine your fish.
There have been videos on this in the past, perhaps at least a dozen, plus this one too.
Hey Victor, I have some questions and things that I forgot to ask last Sunday, as well as things that go along with a few of other viewers comments:
1. What was that big tank it looked like you were building near the back? Was that the 10k I saw you mention in the past?
2. I don’t it’s hard and can’t really do it, but if you can somehow ship fish or get someone to help deliver them to me here in Ohio, I’d be more than happy to buy/adopt some fish to make a little more room. Like some of the Jerks or other fish. If you can’t ship or find any helpers then no worries.
Yes, that was the unfinished 10K. The shipping fee and my inexperience with shipping prohibit me from offering shipping to prospective adopters. It's always been pickup only. I do appreciate your consideration though, thank you!
@@Fish-Story ok
Did he make it?
So far so good. Not feeding yet though.
Midas have shorter snouts, Red devils face comes more to a little bit of a point and their lips are bigger and stick out.. that looks like a Midas to me with a more defined nucle hump.
Phil said surely rose queen - a hybrid of midas and vieja synspillum. What do you think of that?
@@Fish-Story that's possible because of the brighter red. If he bought it he would know. I just don't see Red devil, I see Midas , not red enough to be red mamon or Kong.
@@Ian-qw1zb Alex doesn't know, never knew what species he bought, he only cared about properly sized tank and was grossly mislead by the LFS. I've no idea what exactly mammon or kong cichlids are. I'll look up in my spare time. You know I am cichlid-challenged :)
I want to see some new fishes in ur videos why dont u make a wild fish aquarium
Thank you. You had named several fish in your prior recent comments which we did have, e.g., golden dorado and dovii. Are you new to the channel or watch just occasionally? Yes, new fish are always exciting, it's addictive, but if you are a regular viewer, you know that our problem right now is too many fish, which are not easy to combine with others, and too few tanks. We welcome any help in acquiring new tanks ;) Yes, a tank with FL fish has been in the plans for many years and this year we finally got a collector's license but there is no good tank to dedicate to it. I thought maybe the 10K but it looks I will need it for the fish we already have here.
I thought this was a wild fish video. SFLK is over run with alien and invasive species. Nex time, a lionfish school will be on the property.
I reckon 1 week treatment in a quarantine tank myself but I always say that and so far you have been good. EDIT: I posted too soon, ou put him in quarantine. I am relieved!!
I've been scarred before. If I can qt a wild fish, I do.
Yay, the walking catfish will be back!😃
Thinking back to what happened with the original walking catfish and Kuma in June 2018, I hope this one doesn't end up becoming a snack for Fun-Size Kuma.
I will never stop thinking about the walking catfish columnaris outbreak from 2018 when I watch this fish's videos going forward, though. That was brutal - good that you are taking some more measures against disease potential here.
We got 11 catfish back then in 2018 and Kuma ate probably 4-5 before I had enough and transferred it to the jumbo 4500. Right now it's too small/slender even for the 1800. ... Yes, losing 25% of fish was hurtful enough to remember.
One of the walking catfish that survived Kuma stayed head first inside the mouth overnight didn't it? It really speaks to the toughness of walking catfish in my opinion, that one according to the walking catfish thread was only slightly banged up and didn't need to be taken out while Kuma's equivalent event ended up with it getting its hindquarters skinned and nearly being killed!
That thread also said the walking catfish that did survive until the September 2019 inspectors found them reached and even slightly exceeded 2 feet while getting quite thick as well. If this one gets to that size at one point or another, I think you would be greenlit to put it in the Fun-Size Kuma 4500/17K liter, considering a catfish like Tiggy the surubi is fine in there and he is only 20 inches while probably not as thick as an adult walking catfish.
In fact, I think I actually quite like the idea of a Clarias/Brachyplatystoma combo! When this one clears quarantine, may I suggest growing it up with the zebra shovelnoses prior to its transfer to the 1800/7K liter with Dora and then hopefully the Fun-Size Kuma+piramutaba 4500/17K liter if big enough? That way there can be at least 2 and up to 4 of such intriguing combos:)
Last but not least, in your opinion would now be a good time to pick a name? I'm thinking a reference to the classic joke about the chicken crossing the road - with appropriate modifications made for a walking catfish crossing a parking lot - might be appropriate.🤪

***Thank you. Yes, it was so, even though I forgot about this com0letely until you reminded me.

***I’d not think so. Clarias is far slenderer vs Pseudoplatystoma.

***Will see. Clarias can be aggressive to other catfish in smaller tanks and kill them. I’d not want to risk it with the valuable tigs. In general, we don’t chase interesting combos but only the overall safety of each fish :)

***You could have a crack at it but the fish needs to start feeding and thriving first :)
Thank you.
1) Thank you. Yes, it was so, even though I forgot about this com0letely until you reminded me.
You're welcome.😊
2) I’d not think so. Clarias is far slenderer vs Pseudoplatystoma.
Always appreciate to learn. I'll take your word for it, you're the one who can see the fish in person.
If you don't think it can go in there, I assume it would stay as an adult in the 1800/7K liter out of current tanks?
3) Will see. Clarias can be aggressive to other catfish in smaller tanks and kill them. I’d not want to risk it with the valuable tigs. In general, we don’t chase interesting combos but only the overall safety of each fish :)
I thought they were only aggressive when they were larger, but again appreciate the chance to learn. That combination was suggested under the assumption of not-yet-aggressive smaller walking catfish being safe, I agree with you on prioritizing fish safety.
4) You could have a crack at it but the fish needs to start feeding and thriving first :)
It won't be long now, I'm sure:)
@@KuhliLoachTrainer There seems to be little to no value in guessing where the walking cat(s) will be housed. First they need to survive and grow up. Second, you know how fluid our stock situation can be in any tank, fish can die, be moved, tanks get broken down and reconfigured, tankmate interactions can change for worse or for better, new tanks are being built, etc. All of these things are rather trivial, I mean of little educational and otherwise value but to a hoarder / collector who has too few tanks and too many fish like me. Now on the flip side, when I and those like me do have problems with cohabing fish, then such considerations would be timely and helpful, because they are concrete, not vague or distanced in the future.
