Get Biiiiiiiiiiiiig tank. Budget as much food for him as you do for yourself, make sure your filtration is up to snuff. There are a lot of RTC threads. Look around and you'll learn everything you need to know.
food: He should eat anything. Shrimp, scallops, worms, etc....
tankmates: TSN, Marbled Pim, other larger catfish, pacus, oscars, etc

the bigger the tank the better, and yeah they eat lots of food, i found out with mine that they go on the ocassional hunger strike too so try keep the food varied it will help alot. good luck with your new pick up.
Take good care of it and you won't be sorry. They are worth every bit of time and money you put into them.
If you are feeding and maintaining the water properly you can expect a couple inches a month in growth. Scallopes ,shrimp, bloodworms ,pellets, fish fillets all are considered food. As for temps 69 to 78 degrees F.
What do you have for a tank now?
Most keepers have or are planning a pond of some sort , indoor/outdoor, for life time living quarters for a rtc.

This just about covers it,but as long as you can keep having a big enough tank for it make sure any tankmates you may keep are big enough not to be eaten.Ullopincrate;2866530; said:
