Hi Jebus,

Glad that your cat is doing fine.

I am not too sure what sort of tanning (intensity) that you are refering to. However, do note that they being catfish species, it is not advisable to have strong lighting over them**.

For this species, I would even put in some fine gravel for them to go under.

hint ** see the position of their eyes ?

oh i brought it back to my hostel as i will be camping in NTU till end of the month. thus as i am studying in my room, and my study lamp is beside the aquarium, hence the long hours of brightness, so far so good, hoping to bring him home end of the month so he will be able to stay in the 2 ft tank i've reserved for him

Very nice Ben! Can see the black markings are slowly dissappearing...

Hi Ben, I took out the divider of the flooting box to create more space for the 2 cats to swim. To my surprise, they fight like bettas

. Could you advice me whether they gets bad injuries due to fight?

Thanks

They will get along when they were released into a much bigger space. no more fight even when they meet.
