I'm kind of new to this so I'm not sure if I’m asking this question in the right place but, I have a redtail catfish and right now his tank is pretty bare. Just a cave or two to hide in. what else could I add to make a better environment? Oh and I have a sand bottom not rocks because I was afraid he'd swallow them. Thank you.
Awesome thread necrocanis! You should do a review on the Piraiba, supposively the largest catfish in the Amazon today. Growth to about 3-4 meters, 600+ lbs, also they growl like a dog!

They can grow to that size, but the largest that I've heard of in this century is around the 400 lbs mark. I and several other members on here have kept them briefly as pets. I lost mine and all my other fish when someone destroyed all my tanks. I would love to do some more profiles. I slacked for a while, when I was constructing my 4000 gal aquarium, and again when I was getting divorced. Now I'm jobless and trying to get into college. lol, funny how life works huh?
I still have my origional list of species that I intended to do somewhere on this computer. I'll have to dig them up someday and get busy. I basically go off of personal expirience, hard research, and combination of information from different sources to come up with what I've posted so far. Whenever I can actually afford to get back into aquariums, you can bet that I will be doing catfish all the way again!!!!Catfish Rule!
Tnx for keeping these threads alive guys.
