just wanna ask bout rtc's???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Dont take offense but I found your post funny...

...your name is "Redtail _Fanatic" and your asking if they can breath out of water? With a name like that you should be a pro...or at least have read up on them.

And the answer is yes....you can even put a collar on them and take them out for a walk. (just bring a bottle of water in case it gets thirsty) :ROFL:
 
I don't see any reason why ya'll are ganging up on this guy. There is nothing wrong with his question. Many catfish can breath on land or at least gulp air. Anyone here ever heard of Clarias Batrachus?
To answer the question though, no. Nether catfish can breath out of water.

Can I keep one in a water bed?

:-D Sure if properly cared for, kept at the right temperature, well filtered and all, I see no reason not to keep one in a water bed, with much modifications of course! :) Maybe building it up so you have about an 800 gallon waterbed, couldnt hurt either!
 
The clarius walking catfish can leave the water but not rtc's , now you know!

maybe he asked because he doesnt have a tank big enough, so he thought he could just keep it in the backyard under a sprinkler:ROFL:
