Large Catfish tankmate suggestion with a TSN X RTC HYBRID?

[Joshmac8]

My 3 inch tsn x rtc hybrid is my new 180 gallon i recieved from my grandfather and it looks so empty lol......I plan on building a pond for him and some other tankmates and was wondering what other large cat suggestions anyone could give me, Thanks!

tigirness(i know that aint spelled right). they look like a shovelnose with zebra stripes.

How big do they get? How can i get one? lol

Niger. Marble Pim. Tiger SN. Make sure it's equal or larger. Those RTCxTSNs will eat EVERYTHING.
The Tig may grow too slow and make an easy expensive meal. (Speaking from experience with a Jur)
Start your pond now. lol

+1 for Oxydoras Niger (ripsaw, mother-of-snails catfish).

They'll talk to you when you're lonely.

only thing i could find but the LFS told me they get big which is why i didnt get one.

edit... nevermind i guess i cant use that site name here but anyway it's Tigrinus catfish. search them they look really cool.
edit #2 lol... http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221303 looks like this guy would know a few things about them too. i'm really considering getting one.

What about a perruno or RTC?

Tropical Gar growout.

What would be a better tankmate for the hybrid then? A RTC or Juruense?

I would say RTC, Juruense will grow alot slower and be alot smaller full grown, potentialy the cross you have will, at some point eat a Juruense I think, most likely down to the growing speeds the cross will end up pretty big pretty quick, the Juruense wont.

This is just from what I have read, I dont have any practical experiance in either fish, though I am looking for a Juruense atm, so someone feel free to rip what I have said apart
