MY NEW REDTAIL CAT

[BIGtyme]

Very Nice

Very nice pickup, yes they SAY they can get up to 4ft but in an aquarium more like 2 and a half but very nice fish either way

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

$100? My LFS has a 16" for $50. On my way to pick him up in abut 5 min

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.....

There is one over 5.25 feet that has been posted that has lived in an Aquarium in Amsterdam since 1972 where it was introduced to the tank at under a foot. I'd say that counts as tank raised.

Ironically, you posted in the thread too. You have have forgotten.

While your average is likely correct I'd say it's mostly because the fish are never given the chance to mature in a tank and either die prematurely or are killed from some kind of problem with their home. (IE; pump failure, lack of water changes, etc)
