Rough looking RTC.

The red tail catfish (top photo reply #797) Phractocephalus hemioliopterus
is about 36" and has a wrestling match with either of the smaller 2 year olds that are about 32" every other day and shows it.

The fish in the lower picture of #797 is of course not a rtc. It is a very old Blue Nile Channel catfish (Clarotes laticeps). It is terrible old age state. It has lost about half of its body weight the past 2 years and I have not seen it eat in many months. It is just dying slowly of old age.

Here are 3 more terrible pics of the Blue Nile Channel. I have seen them available for more than 10 years in my area.

I read that you had to get a British military dinghy. What fishes in those 2 megatanks would you be afraid of if you can swim in them?

Actually it was an electrician friend using the dinghy and he was more scared of getting electricuted. Personally I really would not fear any of the fish but I know the pecs and shuttes of some of the cats would smart for a long time if they connected.
