Guess what i finally picked up

[yoimb0b]

So a month or so ago there was a post about red tail / paroon shark hybrid catfish. My lfs had some, but they all succumbed to ich. Well about a month later I go in there, and the shop owner tells me he found one left, still alive, and fat as hell. Its 3-4" long, and almost see through looking. Got the face of a red tail cat fish, but its body color is pinkish. Ill post pics prolly late tonight or tomorrow. Its settling in.

This guys gonna turn out to be a monster!

Ive taken pictures! I just did a water change tho so its a bit cloudy and i apoligize. So far hes been in the 60 gallon for an hour, and already taken it upon himself to steal the arowana's floating pellets from the top of the tank, as well as the bits of massivore pellets from my pikes. This is gonna be a cool fish.

ill keep you guys updated as he gets bigger!

Very interesting looking, I hope it has the personality of rtc's you read so much about here on MFK.

well if it doesnt have the personality of a normal red tail i already have a 10" red tail catfish in my 125 so im not too worried haha. From how I have watched it act, i think its basically a poor mans lince cat. Never stops moving. Its eating everything it finds, pretty cool catfish.

Awesome dude, Great pickup, keep us up to date one any changes that occur. I've wanted one bad ever since that first thread came out.
