My GF bought a SA RTC and it only has two (whiskers) on each side.The two closest to the bottom center are missing and all the others I have seen have 3. This fish is about 5" long. Is there different subspecies or something, or just a defect? I can not see any place where the were ripped off either.
 
yes I do know how big they get and yes I do have a 1500g pond to put it in when it get big enough, so it was not as foolish as one may think. I alreadt have a monster RTC, but that was not the answer to my question...not even close. Please try to stay on the topic

foolish and ignorant ...the one who shoots off at the mouth befor they have any facts.......some poeple I guess are so on top of their game that they have all the answers, except the answer to the only question asked........please do all of us a favor and loose the immature attitude :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:
 
Probably just a defect. Or who knows they might grow back. How big is your other RTC?

the other one is almost 36" and growing....LOL
 
if the wiskers were torn off they will grow back. defects are always possible. i had an rtc and it got some kind of fungus, the wiskers fell off. when it finally recoverd the wiskers eventually grew back. same for other catfish
 
thanks for the info
 
let me know how it turns out for you. gotta see pics of you big one. i love those rtc's. wish i had room for one.
 
i tried to post pics...had trouble...i will try again

I will follow up and let you know if they start to grow back...tho I do not think they will....but we will see...only time will tell
