I would have thought the red tail would munch on the reedfish, I thought a bamboo shark was saltwater and I have no idea how big 800 litre is but know its a lot smaller than800 gallon and as a result I don't see how it could be big enough for a monstrous full grown red tail cat

Just checked on the aquarium calculator and no chanc of a red tail in a 800 litre

the others will be okay but when the red-tailed catfish gets big it mit grow to big for the tank. Ive read they can grow to 1.2 metres!!!
 
spewin i thought a 800ltr would be big enough, hmm #41#### o well, umm yea good point the shark saltwater :P haha
 
Redtails should not be kept in aquaria - a tropical pond maybe but they need far more space than most people can provide - they really shouldn't be so readily available to buy (especially as tiny youngsters)

If you like unusual catfish have a look at the clarias, 800l would be fine for them - not with reedfish though.
 
yea i see that now with the red tails :S lol, awsome lookign fish though, yea the clarius looks kool, are they generally readily available or not? (im going to look up the specs of it make sure it suitable for my tank and suitable for me).

also, they common in black?
 
clarias can usually be found easy enough, ranging here (uk) from about £3 for a 3" baby to about £25 for an 18"er
