red tail cat

[liquidic42000]

i got my red tail cat about 3 months ago and he his about 5-6 inches right now. his tail is like a bright brown color. i was just wondering when it will turn to a bright red. he is very healthy he is allready eating out of my hand and everything. so whats up.

from what i understand it should already be red. someone correct me if im wrong tho. I think they are born with a red tail so mabye you got somethin else

Maybe you just got one that will have some darker colors. Any chance you can post a pic.

No, I wish. It is actually a 4 horned and I got to hold him at one of my LFS and so decided to take pic.

hmmm, strange, I have never seen a RTC under 4" that actually had a full red tail. Usually they have a whitish tail that either is very pinkish or very very white. Try feeding him shrimp and see if the color improves.

dont meen to hijack but my 3" RTC also dosent have a red tail he has white around the outside with some brown it the midel(also his wiskers are turning brown in places )
