My brother had 2 redtail and 2 shovel-nosed tiger catfishes. They really grow fast. He had them for 3 years. Each of them was about 5 feet long. And they were very friendly and frequently required petting.
Sad to say that my excursion into a redtail did not end well. Left for a weekend and it ate and choked on it's 15" tank mate, a gar. Lost two fish at once and then just had the feeder fish left in the tank.
I love these beautiful catfish, but I KNOW how big they can get. My 1st husband also loved them and HAD to have one. LOL that was a fun time--- fancy tail guppies and this huge beast of a catfish!! Eventually, he had to sell it. I was sad to see him go, but it was for the best. You can't always HAVE everything just because you LOVE it! Thank you for that great video and all the information.
First thing you have to realize is the feeding plan you have for this fish. Yes they grow fast but that is in relation to the amount of food you feed it. I owned one of these fish over 20 yrs ago before I knew what they were. I saw it at a local pet shop I liked the colors it had so it came home w me. I had a bunch of ornamental fish in the tank goldfish angelfish etc then I noticed they started disappearing and the catfish was getting bigger. I had him in a 75 gallon tank when he made his fatal decision to try to eat my pleco and choked they both died.
Well and what is the moral of your story? Cuz if you don't feed it, it will simply eat the other fish in the aquarium, that is, it has nothing to do with the feeding plan and how much you feed him. 🤷🏽♂️
@@giovanirafaelnot a good idea to put catfish in a tank with a fish that you care about, they will eat everything in there if they’re able to, feeding is irrelevant when it comes down to that.
Totally agree! You can delay growth in any fish with specific diet and tank size. Certain fish will grow to their capacity faster with large space and more food. Testing with my tiger nose. He’s a year old super healthy and only has grown about 2-3 inches. While pond growth would be massive.
We had one that was 18 inches long. He was oddly very friendly and loved to sit in my hand and be petted. I'm not sure if that's normal for the breed but they do seem to be quite smart.
I bought a small one once threw him in my feeder tank. Til his tank was set up. The next morning there was only like 4 feeders out of 50 left. Needless to say i sold it back to the shop at a discount rate.
Thanks! These guys belong in ponds. Even 350g is „small“. Redtails have another issue: food. More food means fast (unhealthy!) growing. Feeding is key for them (2-3x/week). It’s exactly the same with snakeheads (Channa). Feeding too much makes them a huge strange looking head compared to the body. Don’t feed them daily!
I learned a similar lesson when I bought a 4" paroon shark....after it inhaled my entire aquarium I did some research...bought a 125gal for it and it grew to about 2ft before I had to remove it at an aquarium
@@Axel-su9ji Dude...there are more than one specie of fish that can grow over 4,5ft in Amazon. Pirara sure is one of them. amp.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/comments/fwf7od/massive_red_tail_catfish/
I once watched a presentation about one of these. The owner kept buying bigger and bigger tanks but when it outgrew a 10 ft tank he rehomed it to a zoo. It was put, on its own, in a 22,000 gallon tank. After a few months it was around five feet long and had a mouth on it like the Mariana Trench! Definitely should not be in the hobby.
Thats rediculous they only get 3-4 feet. theres no reason a zoo would build a 22,000 gallon tank for one common redtail cat. He can live in a 300 until hes about a year old maxing out in a 1500 gallon. 22,000 could house 10 red tail cats.
Sadly I see them for sale as 3" and so many don't know how big they get, and even the associates who know they get big don't know REALLY how big so they'll say about 2 feet max but less in a small tank 😒
@Jihart Bladhest en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redtail_catfish Over 5’ and almost 200lbs, a 300 gallon tank is not the ticket. Yes they may do as a pleco does and only grow to the size of the tank, but as much of a predator as they are, they need a helluva a tank and space. A 55 gallon drum of a fish in a 300 gallon tank is not a lot of room.
@@jihartbladhest2749 lol dive down into the mississippi river by any of the bridge pylons and you'll find 6 footers. Bigger if you add in other species. The smaller Asian carp alone are 2.5-3ft long on the reg. Its all the grain and runoff.
Nice presentation. I was thinking he would attack other fish irrespective of size. Although you didn't show it, I have no doubt he would have mopped up any fish he was able to physically get down his gullet. It might even be tricky trying to keep more than one of them in the same tank.
Thanks! I don’t think I lost any fish due to him eating them. I was constantly moving fish around to prevent that from happening lol these fish are beast and like you said will eat anything that will fit
Yes because they grow so big... but people are lots of time clueless. Same with little puppy's... they are cute when little, when they grow up they going to the shelter... its a shame. But i think this guy will provide for his animals like it should be
i saw one of these in a fish store and the way it moved... I had to have it, and it was only a few dollars. Maybe 2 inches at the time. BIG MISTAKE, in more than one way. Never again. Beautiful fish, loads of personality, even liked attention and hand feeding like in the video. These should NOT be casually sold to people. I didn't do my research and it didn't help that it was mislabeled at the fish store. I'm sticking with fish that don't get bigger than 6" ever. I also saw some probably half grown at Sea World. My wife was blown away at how big those ones were. So was I. Very impressive animal!
I had my red tail in a 180gallon he was about 24” gave him away cause his poop was the size of a mini hotdog and he out grew the tank but it’s my favorite fish!
I once bought one from a exotic fish store in PA Shovelnose red tail hybrid. It was 2 inches when I bought it. It outgrew a 150 gallon tank pretty fast. Within two years I’d say it ate just about every fish I had in the tank including two alligator gar that were almost 12inches long. When I donated it back to the store I had bought it from cause he was to big for my tanks (unaware it would get so big) it was about 4 feet long. Even the owner of the store was in disbelief that the fish had grew that fast and that big. He said “it won’t outgrow the tanks”. “It will grow to the size appropriate for the tanks”. Dead wrong
If they are edible I would think this would make a great fish for aquaponics, since they grow so fast... No hate towards the fish, just making an observation. Beautiful systems btw.
I had one a couple years ago … mine was 2” start , then I had to move due to job situation and had to find a new home for him…hard to do when he is 39” now… I couldn’t put anything in tank without him either beating it up or him swallowing it whole … Big and beautiful, but that’s it….. Zero fear of anything….. so think about this before you purchase…. Ok Bob
I put a regular catfish or as we call them horn pout in my tank he was a tiny black little thing the next morning all the other fish in my tank were inside his belly it was amazing!
Oh wow, I LOVE that “predator pond”! I just found this vid and your channel (just subscribed too). Do you have any vids showing predapond being set up? Cuz I want one! Lastly, how long do you think you can keep that Red Tail in there? Meaning, how big will it have to get before you re-tank it again? And do you have a tank big enough to keep it permanently when it’s full grown?
I have a red tail my son in law purchased through the mail. It was 1 1/2 inches six months ago. It's ten inches now. 75 gallon tank. I'm trying to find a home for him as he will need at least 1500/2500 gallon tank. He will get over five ft. Beautiful fish. Be careful not to feed them every day. It can make them sick and also changes their appearance. Once a week I give mine talapia, shrimp and carnivore pellets.
Absolutely shocking. Pleased you've highlighted this. I was actually offered a tiny Redtail Catfish to add to my aquarium the other week. I was enticed to have one because a friend had so many young ones and had difficulty getting rid of them. Given that they grow so quickly and appear to eat everything in it's path. I'm pleased I didn't go ahead and have one. Great video. Entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
I saw a 4 footer being caught on a fishing show. Dude said Catfish have the ability to keep growing as long as a food source is sufficient and healthy.
I'm in the process of setting up my old broken hot tub for one of these beasts. It's a five foot round, probably close to 450 gallons. I'm buying just one as a tiny baby, should be enough room in there for one big fish for at least a year or so, at least I'm hoping!
Yeah I’m still gonna get one, I just need to make sure I have all of his grow outs ready before I actually buy one tho at the moment I have a predatory 75 gal tank and currently looks for a 150 gallon tanks BUT seeing your 300 gallon pond I might get one of those.
@@samsadowitz1724 agreed and at least one side should be 10 ft in length minimum for a full grown redtail catfish to be able to swim. Everything smaller is just cruel.
@@dennisvanopstal7360 I would say a 10' X 5' X 2' tank should be the minimum dimensions for adults. Any dimensions smaller than that is cruel for them.
Wow..nice video and very informative. Question what type of substrate is that 1:42? I love the color. I am starting another 150g and I love that look. Thanks
my lfs had redtails and alligator gars last time i visited. I really wish they would stock more reasonable monster fish. In states that get cold like this one itd be incredably difficult to house either full grown. (since outdoor ponds are out of the question)
I also have a rtc.. i bought it in oct. With a length of 3’ and now in the month of june 8 months later my rtc is now 20 inches.. my pond is only 5x5 with only 8 inches deep..
Keepin it Reel that’s where u messed up u feed it every day where it’s tiny and the around 5-6 inches you start every other day then once you get around two feet or earlier u start feeding once a week
I have a 20 cent Fedder gold fish who wasn't eatin by my Oscar or Jaguar and is now 6 inches and is keeping the bottom of my tank clean, gold fish are carp bottom feeders so my gravel filled with old food is cleaned daily
Животные

5 feet, that sounds massive tbh i'm not a fish guy & the video just popped up, but dude 5 foot thats kid size!! ffs!!
@@russell-di8jsYes, they grew really fast. He had a pond in which he had them. They were really that big.
I believe u but am blown away & am glad i don't live on a barge. Thanks + good luck from the UK@@ahemadhyd05
Legends are saying that he is still growing to this day and made the human his own pet.
oh how the turn tables truning around have turned
Sad to say that my excursion into a redtail did not end well. Left for a weekend and it ate and choked on it's 15" tank mate, a gar. Lost two fish at once and then just had the feeder fish left in the tank.
He’s going to grow fast when you feed him such hearty meals !!! 👍
Maybe a finger is good
this new disease looks like my cat named Daisy.
@@danielthoman7324 what are you talking about?
Well it doesn't make any difference cuz if you don't feed it right, it will just eat all the other fish in the aquarium! 🤷🏽♂️
I love these beautiful catfish, but I KNOW how big they can get. My 1st husband also loved them and HAD to have one. LOL that was a fun time--- fancy tail guppies and this huge beast of a catfish!!

The next size up is an Olympic size swimming pool.
We had one that was 18 inches long. He was oddly very friendly and loved to sit in my hand and be petted. I'm not sure if that's normal for the breed but they do seem to be quite smart.
RTC is just chill species in general
He grew so fast because you fed him so well
I bought a small one once threw him in my feeder tank. Til his tank was set up. The next morning there was only like 4 feeders out of 50 left. Needless to say i sold it back to the shop at a discount rate.
where did you buy him/her from
Song choice at the end just 💣 Bomb and it fits that fish 🐟 for sure!! 👍🔥
Thanks! These guys belong in ponds. Even 350g is „small“.
Redtails have another issue: food. More food means fast (unhealthy!) growing. Feeding is key for them (2-3x/week). It’s exactly the same with snakeheads (Channa).
Feeding too much makes them a huge strange looking head compared to the body. Don’t feed them daily!
when exactly do i shift into a once every 3 days schedule? asking for andrao's, fire n ice, pulchra's, orna's, and obscura's.
Same with common pleisco. smaller but fast growing too.
In the wild wouldn't they be eating all the time?
In the wild animals have to find prey firstly, then hunt it. They don’t find daily prey, sometimes not even once a week.
This absolute madlad sure loves his snacks! Very cute.
Great video, thanks for sharing these beautiful fish. My all time favorite fish in the hobby! 👍🏽
Thanks! Red tails are one of my favorites as well
All I can say is AWESOME! And a great video to boot.
Really don’t care how big he is he still cute
I learned a similar lesson when I bought a 4" paroon shark....after it inhaled my entire aquarium I did some research...bought a 125gal for it and it grew to about 2ft before I had to remove it at an aquarium
These things shouldn’t even be sold . They get way too big. We had one in an 800 gal tank and still ended up building a pond
I agree
A lot of these fish should not be sold they are released and are causing ecosystems to get out of balanced
Shuld have just soy steam and add some ginger when it got 15-20inch
That's already a small pond..... dang
Its very good fish... As a fried fish.
Great call on this video. Although they are awesome they grow huge and fast. They need a very large tank or pond to be happy.
This guy is called "pirarara" here in Brazil. You will need a bigger tank soon, he can reach over 5 feet. Nice video, congrats.
NO THEY WOINT REACH OVER 5 FEET THE BIGGEST RED TAIL CATFISH EVER FOUND WAS 4,5 FEET EXACT 1M 35CM
They dont get no 5 feet...and that pond is awsome size
Check out the channel Xaventures!! You won’t regret it I promise, you can see lots of hand feeding video of alligator gar and rtc in high quality!

if a fish stops growing, that's a problem.
