Here's "Midget"... He's about 2-3 lbs. now. He was about an inch long (his body anyway) when I got him 4-5 years ago. Now he's probably a foot from nose to the tip of his tail.

The catfish is "Piglet" because he eats so much. I have no idea what kind he is. Some kind of Chinese catfish I think. I bought him years ago thinking he was just an upside down catfish (you know, the $3-$4 ones?) I've since seen his kind sell for $40 at half his size. I just can never remember the name.

There's also a 4-5" long Chinese algea eater in there, but I couldn't get him to come out for pics.

Jeez.. I didn't realize the glass was that dirty... I'll get some better pics later, and try to size them down too.

Good looking fish. You should check out Synodontis Eupterus. That would be my guess for your cat.

nice fish, how big is that catfish? I have a tiger oscar looks almost the same, been thinking of trying a long fin oscar sometime in the near future.

also nice yard, I like that pond and the rocks.
