Well if you think most pets are a PIA, the redtail is no exception. These are often available very young often less than 3 cm in length! In a year they will outgrow most home aquaria exceeding 100 Gallons. They will continue to grow, need copious amounts of food and a strong circulation system with good gas exchange and biological filtration to remove ammonia. Accumulation of nitrates is always a problem that must be handled with frequent water changes. Not nearly as challenging as keeping a shark, but still more than what most hobbyists are willing to cope with.
Red Tails are very responsive to their owners as are most pimelodids. Pangasisus sp. are another fast growing "affectionate" catfish.

I actually own my dream pet. A Manx cat. They are the most playful, attentive and affectionate cats. They are like dogs without the hassle.
