He posted that 2 years ago. I've had mine for 2 years now and the previous owner had it for a year. So it is 3 years old. Currently 3'.

yep here's my RTCxTSN. They're lab produce for food consumption, and I'm sure will have the same life span as the parents. I've had mine for longer than 6months. ;)
Wrong!!!! Not a RTC x TSN. This BEAUTIFUL specimen is none other than a red tail catfish crossed with a perruno catfish. Note the spots on dorsal side...not stripes. Also, notice the head. Very round like the RTC. Unlike the shovel nose head of the hybrid that you refer to. This fish is MUCH cooler than a RTC xTSN, often called the "Dorada" catfish in the Amazon as it is tragically and savagely a delicacy for cowards and fools. Take excellent care of him.
 
Nice to see those old pics of feeding pompano to the big boy! I forgot about those pics!
