Bad Cat, my personal Journey in to RTC

Thank you so much for keeping this thread and the story going. Very inspiring and useful.

I'll repeat myself that yes the Bad Cat is a male from everything I know about our RTCs.
 
Speaking on behalf of so called 'Bad' Cat here ? ? ?

As you can imagine, I need a bigger tank. My house configuration will not let me build a 1000 gallon tank inside it, so thinking covered outside tank in a green house.
Move all three RTC in there...
What I would like is a 2500 gallon tank, with 3 seperate areas for the Catfish to do their own thing if they want.
My setup now is 2 Fluval FX6 filters, one 305 (chemical only really) then I use a hot tub pump going into a hot tub heater. That goes into 2 hot tub filters that dumps into a 100 gallon reservoir that is 1/3 filled with bio balls. Water quality has not been an issue in the 2 years I have had that running.
I have asked around for anyone making 3 inch thick accrilc so when I build the big final tank it is able to be viewed for the side. Last 3 1/2 years I have not seen Bad Cat from under the water. What I really want is to go swimming with him. 20210717_210627.jpg
This was my fish room as of 6 months ago. Since then I have added more lights. Having that 210 gallon glass aquarium in the corner is basically useless... I have a hard time seeing through my plants. ?
 
Give him some underwater catnip for being such a good kitty :grinno:
 
good write up,

i would be done with buddy after the asian arow gone….
 
Absolutely awesome write up and updates. My wife and I are currently building a house and it will have an indoor 2k setup. I’m currently looking for a Phantom RTC but have had no luck so far.
It will be roughly 18’ long, 8’ wide and 3.5’ high with a viewing panel in the center down low. The top will be open and the back wall will be scape like a water fall into the tank/pond. The room behind will house the filtration.

Predatory Fins? Have you started a thread about this yet?

Really cool write-up! Good luck with whatever you decide to set up! You could try an above-ground pond, but heating would be the main problem. GOod luck!

I haven’t yet due so some issues with our construction and the builder.
I did check with predatory fins and the breeder is having issues with his male. I was told that they will likely not have any until next year.
