    Re: Red tail catfish

    If i have not mistaken, you can only determine their sex when they mature at a pretty big size.

    Their tail are usually red since young, i've seen LFS selling RTC at a size of 3 - 4" and already have red tail

    I am not so sure if they are poisonous, but i do not suppose they will bite you in your tank

    Do you have a picture of it ? Because there's one kind where it is a cross between RTC and 1 other catfish.

    Oh yes! 1 more question, do they eat their own species? Like cannibalism? I heard that they die too cause they get too lonesome..
