Heres pics of my albino channel

They could be albino Asian Redtails... those would look closer to channels... but channels are a lot more common

it could also be an albino asain RTC.......

 

[lophius]

it'll be albino wykioides if they are labelled as albino red tails -

what was the price - for an albino RTC (south american) it'll run into the 1,000's of dollars

Hello All,

I have a 5 inch RTC which is albino. Any ideas if it is really a redtail or a channel cat? BTW, he/she eats like a pig...I need to buy a tank in 2-3 months now I guess....how do I know if its a male or a female?
Pic attached.....
Thanks,
George.

rtc are sometimes albino when younger generally grow out of it. also to check difference see if it craps. funny fact redtail catfish dont poo they convert everything into liquid or puke it up. also the maxillary barbells should be very different and the freckles/spots will still appear on the top of the rtc.

Where did you learn this fun filled fact? I've seen my rtc crap a few times. I can personally vouch for it not being liquid. Nothing close to the sort as a matter of fact. Maybe if you were feeding it nothing but a liquid diet, but then it wouldn't last too long. Don't believe everything you read.
