If my iridescent shark was to get big, could I put him in a big pond with other fish like bass,sun fish,catfish,and frogs? or would he die?

Never put them in an outdoor pond. RTC are originally from the amazon and can only live in warmer temperatures. Leaving them in an outdoor pond of the winter will be certain death.

Should actually do fine!

My husband wants to get this type of fish and I've been doing some research on it. I pretty much know most of what I need to. However, I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly which fish would be good to go in a tank with it? As in the specific names of the most compatible fish.

I just bought a spotted raphael catfish about 12 inches for my back yard pound. I also purchased 4 blue catfish about 4 inches 7 Plecostomus about 4 inches and 24 goldfish. The gold fish where to be eaten but not the others. My question is will the Raphael eat all of them in 2 weeks???

I would not think so. Normally aren't fast enough to catch other fish.

My raphael talking catfish is just sitting in its hole all day and all night and I never saw him eat anything. I have him in a 55 gallon community tank with synodontis zebra hybrid, long fin serpea, tetra, african butterfly fish, archer fish, rope fish. Is there somthing wrong with its health or lonely because he is the only raphael in the tank and I have him already a year?

My raphael is doing well I thinknk he is still alive. I have been feeding him earth worms every so offten.I drop them in at dusk he and will eat just as fast as I can serve them to him Am I feeding him enought?

I had a iredecent in a 30 gallon grow out he was about 1-2 in long also I kept him here because he was very lethargic. He would swim about a few inches then just sink to the bottom and lay on his side. I saw some ich on him so I raised the temp to 80 degrees f and then treated half strength with ich treatment. but he was still lethargic. I had plenty of live plants around the back and sides of the aquarium and loads of small live plants for him to rest in. I also had about 6 corys because he was a messy eater. lol thnx

My redtail has been a healthy fish for about two years in the last week or so his skin started turning reddish, he stopped eating, and now he's getting sores and looks like he is going to die does anyone know what this is and if there is a way to save him or not?

Check you water levels. There is usually a way to save them. Need to find the cause. Any other signs?
