Hi,I have give away my 15"-16" RTC yesterday because I'm not moving houses yet and it will be long (less then a year for sure) before I move to bigger house that would fit aquarium that I want in my room, so I have decided to give away my RTC and now I would like to find some other catfish that would fit in my current aquarium, i would like it to be as similar to RTC as is possible,maybe not the look but the way that they behave and eat :popcorn:
as I liked the most to feed my RTC and also I would like it to have a character.
my aquarium maybe it's not a Monster but it should do fine for most type of catfish's
my Aquarium:
Rena 600
over 600 liters
200-cm X 75-cm X 50-cm
Life Stock:
two Tiger Oscars
two Fire eels

thanks for help and thanks for looking.
