South-American Redtail Catfish
*Things to consider before purchasing a “South American Redtail Catfish”*
*Size*: On average, a redtail catfish will reach a staggering length of 1.5m & up to 80kg (yes, you read correctly). Something most aquarium enthusiasts don’t realize is how big these fish actually get, as well as the speed at which they grow. So no matter the aquarium size you have for it, you always have to think bigger.
*Lifespan*: Up to 15 years, so you have to be ready for commitment.
*Diet*: They will require a deep pocket as foods for these monsters aren’t cheap! Feeding redtail catfish involves giving them an omnivorous diet that is a high-protein diet in order to live happily. In the wild, they eat small fish, crustaceans, insects, and vegetation that falls into their environment. Let’s just say they have a big appetite, with most not knowing their limit.
*Tank Mates*: Other large freshwater fish, such as Oscar’s, Bichirs, large Dollars, Stingrays, Arowana’s, large Catfish, Pacu.. etc
Note: they are known for trying to eat fish bigger than them, so be cautious when choosing tank mates for your redtail catfish.
*Tank/Filration*: They will need a minimum 240lt aquarium when juvenile as a grow out tank. Ideally, a 1.8m (1500lt) aquarium will be sufficient as a long-term holding tank. But a pond would serve it a better suited environment & space to grow & thrive.
When it comes to filtration, this has to be on point as these catfish are very messy. We’d recommend large canister filters packed with bio media or multiple internal filters in a single aquarium to maximise filtration & oxygen levels.
Once you’ve read all the above, we hope you have an understanding of what it is is like: owning a Redtail Catfish. And if you’re ready for it, we should be getting some in stock soon.
