Yes if the Redtail Catfish outgrows the Silver Arowana definitely a threat. Silver Arowana grow pretty fast also.

Absolutely not, they're both actually almost perfect in compatibility.

I'm not saying that their not compatible but size difference does matter.

You can put them together for a while but by the time the redtail gets to 10” or above the arro won’t have grown enough to be safe from being eaten.

HAHAHAHAHA I wouldn’t count on it. As a fish keeper I obviously wanted my friends to own fish as well. Since my friend had a pond I made him buy an rtc and 2 silvers. Peaceful for about a year, with the rtc of course growing much faster in speed compared to the arowanas. Just 2 weeks ago he texted me pissed off, the rtc had eaten one of the arowanas.

They do have big mouths (and even bigger stomachs)
