Your RTC can't be kept in a tank. Same with your hybrid TSN x RTC and in time 40 frotns will get so big they will end up killing each other.

Im actually intrigued about your pond.I have a 2500 gal shovel dug with koi,goldys and a channel cat.

I do realize i have chosen some very large fish but they can be kept i aquariums, i have seen them. as far as frontosas, i have been doing african cichlids for over 15 yrs. and have never had the problem of getting to big to kill each other. They are in a 220.I dont keep 40 at all times, i sell them.thumbs2:

I built the pond 4 years ago.I started with a 900 gal. that was not big enough so i redid it. It is 2 ft. inground and 2 ft. above ground.I could not get a machine in my back yard so it is hand dug in hard clay and rock. Took me 4 months start to finish.

How old are the koi?Have they reached spawning size yet?

I have several that are around 20 inches.Most are about 10-12".they have not spawned yet. Maybe next year.

when the shovelnoses get to big you can probably keep them in the koi pond if its heated

Its not heated and i have to much money invested in the koi to feed them to the catfish, ha,ha. I have started building another pond for the catfish.

Sounds like you have some unique, and big fish on your hands. Glad to hear your willing to give them a decent sized home. thumbs2:

[Crispy]

Looks like you really have your hands full with all these fish! It won't take very long for that silver aro and catfish to outgrow a 75. Best of luck with them!
