MY NEW REDTAIL CAT

[motorofreak]

HERE IS MY NEW REDTAIL. HE IS ABOUT 1' LONG. HOW BIG DO THEY ACTUALLY GET??

 

[chrscap]

they can get up to 5 ft long bud, hopefully you have a big enough tank for this big boy, have fun they will eat anything that fits in their mouths.

 

[motorofreak]

right now he's in a 180 gal. Eventually I will have to put him in an indoor pond.

Yours looks like a TSN/RTC hybrid though. At the Vancouver Aquarium the have a couple RTC at about 5' cruising around in a very big tank with Arapima Gigas and Black Pacus.

TSN/RTC??? I got it at a pet store for $100 as a RTC. Did I pay way too much?

not hybrid, but here's is an example of size.

My guess....... 24-30" is about it in a "normal" large tank/small pond. They usually slow down at around 18-24" and slowly grow from there. Sure they will grow forever, but the mythical 4' tank raised RTC has yet to be seen.


JMO of course.....
