    Catfish in aquariums

    I think the coolest ones are the bumblebee, dwarf stone catfish, ripsaw catfish, blue tail banjo catfish, tiger shovelnosed catfish and of course the redtailed catfish for exotics. Local ones you can catch yourself i like the brown bullhead, flathead, blue and channel cats. Bullheads are super...

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    Just as a reference http://www.aquariumdomain.com/viewSpeciesFreshwater.php?id=45 I personally try to make all my fish feel as if they are in their natural surroundings. Not like a fish in a simple glass tank. Perhaps this is why someone had the thought that redtails or any other catfish...

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    Not sure if the repost was aimed at me, but if so then you should take the time to read what i wrote since none of the repost actually applies to anything i myself do or have done. And the part about redtail catfish or any catfish for that matter being an inactive species is also entirely false...

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    Catfish are actually alot more active than you would think. They like it when it is darker out and will readily hunt down minnows and crayfish with ease. In bright light situations they will basically stay dormant, low light and darkness are when they are most active and will chase down their...

Basically if i don't feel safe eating it, i won't give...

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    The crayfish and minnows all come from a spring fed pond near my house. Typically i have enough on hand in extra tanks for both my fishing needs and for all feeding purposes. Normally i house them for about 2 weeks before i will feed my fish any of them. Gives them a bit of time to cleanse...

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    As for the feeding of my rtc and his 2 tank mates. A 19 inch northern pike and a 9 inch oscar. I strictly feed them only live/dead food. Be it mice, minnows, crayfish, bugs, worms or leaches.

    So you want to keep a RTC (Red Tailed Catfish)?

    I got an rtc last spring as a present from my wife, she got it on clearance sale. Unfortunately though i do not have a set up to really support him, and the store she bought it from closed 2 days after the purchase so i was unable to exchange it for something more suitable. He is now currently...
