Red tail Catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tigrinus, Lima shovelnose, Juruense, off the top of my head.
 
sorry to piggy back, then if I put a rtc in a 125 while sub 12" then moved it to my pond at 12" would that be ok? current pond dimentiosn are lxwxd 18'x7'x3'(average depth) planning to dig out to 18'x9'x5-6' this fall.
 
Depends what you have in the pond. But the RTC will grow 12'' in 3 months.

To the OP....So your looking for a cat fish for sure?
 
Cories actually do look like red tails don't they. I can't tell if you were serious or not though.

Aren't the tigrinus and stuff too big also???

Tigrinus and Juruense top out at around 24" ,usualy a little less, limas around 18".

My Limas (old picture, theyre quite a bit bigger now)

i have a marbled cat hes gonna get about 18-21" hes cool as can be!

Depends which one you are refering to, if its a pictus then 2' ish is likely, if it is a perruno same about 2' ish (but these are rare) the most common marbled cat is the leiarius marmoratus which gets larger, over 2' anyway.
 
their cool.

that actually would work then, the only reason not to put it in the pond right away is that I'm digging it deeper and wider this fall. should only take me a few weekends but with the heat I'm waiting.
