today while i was at the lfs i saw a rtc x tsn cross it was huge and very responsive the guy there reached in and petted it and it seamed to like it, ive never been in to catfish before but after seeing this one I really wanted it but my wife would never let me get another tank let alone one big enough for this guy but I do have another 90 gallon I could use so I was wondering if there was any catfish that I could put in it that would be that owner responsive and I don't care if its the only thing in the tank or if it looks as cool I just want something that will inter act with people like this one
 
my bass feeds from my hand, and jumps out of the water to bite me, even when I don't have food.
 
well honda12 i took your advice and purchased one that's about 7 in long do you have any advice on food tank mates etc..?
 
It can pretty much go with anything that cant fit in its mouth. I have mine in with two motoro rays right now.

I feed mine smelt, shrimp, squid, earthworms, crayfish, and krill. I feed all that to my rays at different times so he gets all that. His favorite by far are earthworms though. I'm sure you could get it on shrimp pellets or something if you wanted to.

Best of luck with it. They are a really cool catfish.
 
what kinda bass is it
 
when I was at lfs I was looking for something to put in with him I did see something called a grass cutter catfish and I thought this might be a nice addition to the tank but the guy there didn't know anything about them and i cant find any info on the net about them so I guess that will have to wait
