What size tank are you putting these in

 

[GarFreak]

baby flathead catfish. preferably smaller than the red tail. or a gar. they make good combinations.give them places to hide. it would be good to give them teir own seperate personal space. P.S. a tiger shovelnose goes great with red tails too. good luck.

if the tank is big enough i would recomend a pacu. they grow just as fast as an rts so there wont be a threat of one eating the other. good luck. what size tank?

 

[parkeey]

5ft tank was thinking??

 

[oscar and arowana]

well unless that 5 ft long tank is 10 feet wide i would think of a new fish. A redtail cat needs a min of 1000 gallons and your talking about a 100 gallon tank. It is too small. If you still want a catfish than get a lima shovelnose but they need a 150

Nothing for long.

yeah the reach 5' in length but the are 2.5' wide so i think a 5' wide tank is to narrow for these guys

unless you want to have catfish display tank, tank too small for life

Agreed.
