NEW baby red tail catfish

[liberator177]

I picked this guy up on wednesday but havn't got any pics of him until now. I got him to go with the RTC x TSN and TSN I already have, so now I have the big cat trio. The fish is about 3 inchs and was $19.99 cheapest one I've ever seen. Here's the pics.

The tail isn't really white in real life, it's more of a light bronze/pink color, I think the red comes in when there older

It is suppose to be red but it will get that red tail color when it gets bigger in growth, while they are small juveniles they keep the white colored tail. Ahah I miss my RTC already

I'm only power feeding till he grows to about 5 inchs so he can go with my TSN and not be a meal, and I can get him out of his small 20 gallon.

They are so cute when they're this small! Wish I could find one for that price around me, all the ones I find are around $50 for a 4-5"er
