red tail catfish amazonian vs asian

[macframalama]

I am curious to know if anyone has any asian red tail catfish exp, i currently have a 12 inch amazonian rtc and i have been given the oppourtunity to purchase a really really nice asian rtc, but im worried about different growth rates between the 2 , i only have amazonian exp and i want to know how does there growth rate compare

the asian is smaller , quite a bit smaller in fact so i dont want him to become lunch but i was thinking of growing him up a bit in my 180 before he joins the big guys.

eventually the goal is to house them all together , cant afford a secondary house for a catfish with a slower growth rate

or should i pass and wait for a bigger one to come up , if the game of catch up isnt realistic


any info is appreciated , i realize how large these all get and im equip'd to handle them
thanks again

Ive never owned one but I've heard Asian rtc have a mean attitude.

hum.... maybe attitude may make up for a size difference

agreed on the mean streak. The concenses seems to be if they had big teath the gounch would have a run for its money.

True . If it can keep up with the sa rtc. Mine 3.5' in like 8 months.

god i would love a goonch but they need weird water , super cold , heavily oxygenated and river status on current... none the less im trying to get this figured i have until 4 pm today here to decide if i wanna fly it over to me im on vancouver island and the last plane leaves from the mainland at 4 pm... and its 12:04 pm here... clocks ticking ... someone has to know help a brotha out

My guess is the asian rtc would get eaten, I doubt they grow as fast as the rtc

I would love a goonch too. I sure have space for a goonch. Atleast I wont have to move it in doors every winter. I would go for it. Its worth the shot worse that could happen it gets eaten or sold. I would grow it out.

its retarded cheap so its hard to pass up, the shop has 3 and they want $9.99 each, flight is $60 so i could bring in 3 for under $100, im just tripping about
A them getting eaten, or B growing them out all together and having to raise 5 giant cats lol, not that its a bad thing but wife wont let me install a pool in the living room lol
