I couldnt remember the exact dimensions.......measured it again and it is 48 long, 24 wide and 30 high. Hope that makes better sense. Trust me he is not thin. The funny thing about these guys is how they eat. I have been feeding him according to some articles on these guys. Dont feed everyday and feed bigger meals every three days or so. After he eats he really looks pudgy. Its pretty funny.
My redtail catfish
- Thread starter dlucas
- Start date
Yea whats the deal with 12"
At 2 years old he should be pushing 24-30"
What size tank was he in before the tank he is now? And when did he get switched to this tank?
geesh people I said he is about 2 years because I wasn't sure but I asked my wife how old he was and she said the oldest he would be is 18 months. The didnt grow that fast mainly because he will not eat any pellets, or veggies. He will only eat fish, shrimp, bloodworms.
He has been in the 150 gallon tank since he was little. What are you people trying to insinuate.
haha, the word red tail catfish in anything less than a few thousand gallons always ends up as a flaming thread here because of their potential size
Yeah. People tend to overreact when they see a rtcat in a "smaller" tank. I was actually forgot the fact that you were going to sell him when he gets too big...sorry!
Good luck, those are difficult to sell.Once he gets to big I might have to sell him if he out grows the tank.
Do these fish retain their coloring when they push 3-4ft? I mean does the red/orange colored part fade or does it stay the same? Nice fish by the way
