Hi Jose,

That's certainly a different collection of fish there. Like your Pacu's and the knifefish. You mentioned red tail catfish, hope it is not THE red tail catfish as in http://www.scotcat.c...ioliopterus.htm as it can grow to big for the normal aquarium and it is also a loner!. The silver Arowana is also a big fish unless you aim to move the fish to other more suitable tanks in the future when some of these fish get too big and aggressive when housed together.

Hi Allan

I'm preparing an outdor 2400 gallon pond in my yard to move the big fishes when the time comes. I will post some pictures of the pond when ready. Yes the RTC is a Phractocephalus hemioliopterus

Hi Jose,

Look forward to your pond pictures, sounds great

A pond for catfish eh? Sounds fantastic. Doubt if any would survive a Perthshire winter though!

Hi, a pond is a great idea for fish like a redtail cat mine is 3 foot long and lives in a 1000 gallon pond but you wont be able to keep a good temature unless you can build it in some kind out out house. Last winter mine cost nearly £900 just to heat it so for 2000 gallons your looking at double the price. mine has move in to a fully insulated shed now, just like keeping it in doors now hope this help Dan.

I don't know where Jose is based Dan, but I would guess a warm country looking at his personal profile. May be you could let us know Jose?

Have you any pics of your setups Dan?

Hi scotcat iv got some pic of it out side set up in the summer but non yet of the fish house as its not finised yet but when its finished ill get some pic on. The water temp stayed in the high 20's but once winter falls it drops to much for her so it's a fish house required ow yeah all round enjoyment with out getting cold.  Image002.jpg   571.85K   4 downloads  Picture2_071.jpg   3.08MB   3 downloads  File0010__6_.jpg   346.51K   6 downloads

Hi Dan,

Your Red Tail looks in great nick and yes £900 a year is a bit steep for heating. What kind of heater do you use for such a size of pond.?
I take it you live in England? and what size of indoor pond will you have in the new fishhouse.....questions, questions
