RTC and TSN Information

in home aquaria probs like 120cm +++ and i mean +++ cuz they can get even LARGER is given the right space and diet. probably more like 150cm ++ in the WILD!
I picked this guy up at my LFS about 2 months ago. At the time I was looking for a bottom feeder to help dispose of uneaten food and unwanted convict fry. I found him in with some spotted pincats, and when I asked I was told he was an Asian RTC. At the same time I was assured that unlike SA RTCs Asians only got to be 4-5 inches. Since then he has more than doubled in size from abour 2.5 to now 5 inches. I am begining to wonder if the LFS had any clue what he was. So I guess my questions are: Is he an Asian RTC? If so how big will he get? If he's not, what is he?

It's not wide or tallenough. RTC grow to 4 feet in length, and a 2 foot wide and tall tank won't accomodate them. In addition, it's not nearly enough volume for a full-grown RTC. You really want something in the 800 to 1,000 gallon range for them.
Hi, not to be a pain in the *** but could somone please help me out and possibly answer my questions? Thanks
I am not sure what catfish that is. I do know that Asian RTCs grow about the same size as SA ones. Maybe you could google the photos of Asian ones and see if that's what he is. As I said, Asians and SA's get the same size, but Asians get much, much meaner. They are usually the only fish in the tank becuase they kill tankmates, even if they don't eat them.
