We have all killed our share of fish for stupid reasons. By nature, this
hobby is one accident away from a disaster. It is if you don't learn from
your mistakes that you should be tarred and feathered. As far as growth
rates, I have had some for a few years now and I expected them to grow
*much* faster than they are. I wonder if they are indeed a slow growing
fish. My blue cats are growing slowly also. Nothing like channels which
seem to grow everytime you look at them.
