how do the hybrids do with turtles im lookin bout throwing turtles in the pond when i get it set up? thanks for the help
shud be OK as long as the turtles r not too much smaller than ure catfish! hybrids dont have as wide mouths as RTCs so shud be alright.

hey just a quick q. does that apply to a sand substrate too? will a TSN swallow the sand? mines only young, 12cm and shows a very round belly at times
well ive always kept my catfish with bare floors...however...if u imagine Catfish in the amazon basis...they have substrate all the time. so if u follow nature...they shud survive...but swallowing that much sand cant be good for them :s plus less sand = cleaner cuz excrement doesnt get trapped.
 
redtail just broke my prefilter nylon bolt hanging on the back of the tank! glad i had another. The only filter i thought he would let me keep :) I am still waiting for bulkheads for my 460 gallon to start the plumbing. Hurry bulkheads Hurry !!!!!!!
 
When do tigers start to get active?? Also would adding a rtc x tsn to my tank make the ts more active??:nilly:
 
Hi, i'm new here and new to fish rearing.Need some advise please.

I have a RTC, currently about 13" long.

But his tail just wouldn't turn red.

I used to feed him lots of prawns as his main food.

And currently i'm feeding him cubes of frozen bloodworms.

Is there anything wrong with this? or should i change the type of food?

Thanks

nothing wrong with the diet but many members have sed that prawns or other shellfish tend to make catfish more yellow eventho it has beta caretenoid...but its just a theory! RTC colours usually darken with age anyways...hes still a baby @ 13'' just wait a bit!
 
Thanks for the reply!
Huh? i thought prawns make it red??

Oh, and i feed it the whole cube, as in it swallow the frozen bloodworm cube whole. is that okay for the fish?
