Paroon Catfish and a Lima Catfish instead of getting the RTCxTSN

[djarmstrong]

Cool .

I am thinking on going down the Amazon themed route , with Oscars , Silver Awo's , Pbass , Pikes , Lima's , Ray's and maybe some thing else .

Edit - and now a have just Googled leiarius marmoratus i might have to get 1 or 2 of them aswel as they come from around the Amazon area , depending if i can find them anywhere .

would 3 Lima Cat's fit in that size pond ok ?

a RTC/TSN hybrid wud actually be better than a paroon cuz it doesnt get as big. in addition, paroons r constantly on the move so they need a HUGE amount of space as opposed to the hybrids who basically sleep all day wen they get bigger. plus the hybrid it cud live many years in that pond. if u cud extend the length of the pond slightly it cud live there for life...

yes 3 limas cud definitely fit in that pond 4 life....the largest ive seen is only around 28''....and it was considered one of the biggest in captivity
