Overview

The Golden Red Tail Catfish is a large, freshwater fish known for its striking appearance, featuring a Golden body, white underside, and a vibrant red tail. Native to South America, it is a highly sought-after species in the aquarium trade but requires extensive care due to its massive size and rapid growth. It is best suited for advanced aquarists with large tanks or indoor ponds.

Origin
  • Native to: Amazon Basin, Orinoco River, and other large river systems in South America.
  • Habitat: Found in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and flooded areas with sandy or muddy substrates.
Feeding
  • Diet: Carnivorous
  • Preferred Foods: Fish fillets, shrimp, prawns, earthworms, mussels, and sinking carnivore pellets.
  • Feeding Habits: Voracious eaters; should be fed 2–3 times per week to prevent obesity. Avoid feeder fish, as they can introduce diseases.
Tank Mates
  • Best with: Large, robust fish that can tolerate their presence, such as Arowanas, Peacock Bass, Pacu, and Giant Gouramis.
  • Avoid: Small fish and invertebrates, as they will be seen as food.
Aggression & Behavior
  • Temperament: Generally peaceful but will eat anything that fits in its mouth.
  • Territoriality: Can be aggressive toward similarly sized or smaller bottom-dwelling fish.
Experience Level
  • Difficulty: Advanced
  • Challenges: Requires an extremely large aquarium, powerful filtration, and careful monitoring of water quality.
Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 72–79°F (22–26°C)
  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • Hardness: 2–15 dGH
  • Tank Size:Minimum 1,000 gallons for long-term care (juveniles can start in 200 gallons but outgrow it quickly).
Final Notes

Red Tail Catfish are often purchased as juveniles without considering their immense adult size, leading to frequent cases of rehoming. They require a dedicated and experienced aquarist with the ability to provide a massive tank or indoor pond. Proper care ensures they can live up to 20 years in captivity.

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
