yeah, these are real monsters! Kinda a shame they are so common place in the trade, but won't go into that... you can always eat them I guess! That's a really nice looking TSN too Karen, they redescribed all of them into about 7 or 8 fish not long ago, but I think the only differences with some were the amount of spine discs or something . Catfish are great though, ironically real dog like fish. |

surely though karen you would be very limited to how you could 'trim' a tank up for something as powerfull as a redtail??substrate would get moved plants destroyed??the only thing i could think of that would get shredded would be some large plastic pipe to simulate caves _________________ www.jamieswordsreptiles.com |
