Guia de cuidados no aquário para Redtail Catfish

Manter Redtail Catfish em um aquário exige as condições certas.

Informações sobre aquário

• Nível de cuidado: expert
• Temperamento: aggressive
• Alimentação: carnivore
• Tamanho mínimo do aquário: 2000 gallons (7570 liters) for a single adult specimen, ideally much larger (pond-sized)
• Compatibilidade: Only compatible with other very large, robust fish that cannot be swallowed. Best kept as a solitary specimen due to its predatory nature and immense size.
• Requisitos especiais: Requires an extremely large aquarium or pond with powerful filtration to handle the significant bioload. Substrate should be fine sand or smooth gravel to protect its delicate barbels. Provide large, smooth hiding spots (e.g., PVC pipes, large driftwood) and ensure the tank is securely covered as they are powerful jumpers. Feeding should consist of high-quality, varied carnivorous foods, avoiding feeder fish due to disease risk. Regular, large water changes are essential.
