Hi Guys!
I am finishing to build a pond (6m x 8m x0.8 h). All filtration system is ok but I have some question about the population:
I really want to insert 2 or 3 red tailed cat fish and if they can go together with a few other spices like stingray, gator or some shovel nose catfish would be great, but which one?
First how many of those fish can I keep in this kind of pond?
Can they live together?
As far I know RTC when adult they need to be feeded once a week... is so with the other species?
Part of the pond is covered by a small wooden bridge, will the fish hide under the bridge all day?
I will put some tropical water plants in big pots like lotus, there will be no gravel as i read is a no no for the RTC, sand would be ok? Or the stings will go under the sand all time?
I am living in Thailand so temperature is not a problem I guess. I have been in bangkok in a big fish market where there were sold fish from the small betta to majestic arapaima 1.5m++, there i saw fish I didn't even know were existing...
Thanks guys
