You might have to increase the frequency of your water changes.

Holy Catfish, Batman! That pic sure lends credence to the maximum size "in aquarium" v " in the wild"!

You shouldn't have to add anything to get your nitrates up.

This fish tail has a happy ending in that the fish is still alive. It is currently on display in Kansas City and will eventually be returned to the river from which it came.

Yeah... no. Fish is DOA, too much handling the likely suspect.

I'm glad you posted that. They've been talking about it on the radio, but I hadn't seen an actual pic yet.

WOW! They estimate it's age at 30 years! Such a shame that such a great fish had to die. I only live a couple blocks from the Mississippi. I don't think I'd want to have an encounter with something that size. YIKES!

It's not dead. It was donated to one of the gigantic aquariums in a Cabela's outfitter store.
