My other passion...monster fish!
Hi all I just wanted to share some pictures of my other passion. Monster fish keeping. I currently own a red tailed catfish which with right care can reach 5' easy. I have a planiceps catfish who also can reach that size or larger. And last I have a red belly pacu which can get to about 2'. I am building a heated indoor pond for them so they wont be kept cramped for long. without further adieu my fish!
Muffy...my planicep
Milton....my red tailed catfish
I don't have any good pictures of my pacu (Gertrude) but I will try to get some...
PS the pond is a 8x8x3 and is going in my bedroom.

He was being dry measured to get an accurate length....he has been growing an inch a week and will until about 2' he will hit 2' by the end of his first year. Same with my planiceps. Also fyi Jeremy Wade is my idol!

I had a red tail that would eat everything. Even ate a fish the same size as him. He's about 3ft now at the pet store I used to work at. They've got a tank of big fish and had to put bigger fish in the tank because it was eating everything.

That's how rtc are...you can't keep.really anything but fish bigger than it with them....hence why I have mostly large catfish species.

Cool looking fish! I'm seriously considering a pond. I love snakeheads too. I used to keep piranha but lost them in a week long power outage a few years ago. It hurt so bad I kept my tank dry for a year! Here's the new occupant
Regards,

Re: My other passion...monster fish!
I'm big time into Tropical Fish as well, but currently don't have a tank running. I love the monsters! I go on Monster Fish Keepers and just drool at all of the cool fish. Cool rtc... any updated shots of it?
