questions for catfish pro's out there...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looks to me like a TSN X Leopard Catfish. More varieties of the RTC X TSN I have seen doesn't have spotted leopard pattern or color. But more like a tiger. Although I have seen RTC X TSN that does look similar to that. The leopard spots just throw me off a little on whether to lean toward which species.
 
he looks like his getting weak you all...tried feeding him 1 on 1 not really reacting to anything.blood worms as in the dried ones you get at the pet store..saw some the other day.
 
give him live, and not goldfish! if that doesn't take, i would start thinking about it maybe having a parasite or something, it takes alot to get a tsn or rtc or hybrid catfish of the 2 to loose its appetite

no not dry ones lol, frozen bloodworms
 
what size is the catfish? large growing catfish are notorious for going on hunger strikes when you move them or cause stress of some sort. my rtc x tsn didnt eat for 3 months after i moved him to my pond. i hope you have something ALOT larger than a 75 in the works for your stock list. the only fish that will be able to stay in the 75 without being horribly stunted are the oscar and pleco, and eventually the pleco would get too large for a 75
