so ive decided to post an update on my 2 RTC's

My first one was maybe about 15cm when i purchased interstate and it was shipped up by plane in February this year. Here is some pics from then till now currently pushing 80cm!

My 2nd one was purchased more recently in Sept also interstate but this one was way to big for shipping along with some of his friends and other fish for some of my friends lol, so i organised a road trip and off we went. After driving through the night with no sleep and arriving in Sydney about 12 hours later and over 900km's we picked up all the fish and got prepared to drive straight back (still no sleep). By the time we got back it was midnight but the fish still had to be dropped off to there new homes aswell as mine. Anyways long story short! all the fish survived the drive and are now happily living with there new owners as well as my monster of a RTC which i am currently designing a new bigger outdoor tank with about 7000Litre capacity
Heres some Photos!

Happy Owner. . . Happier Fish :clap

Kudos to U providing a great home for your kitty :thumbsup:
Too COOL! Awesome! very nice tank and monster RTC.
thx all for the positive comments! Im currently in the process of looking at a second hand 7000Litre (1850gal) fibreglass tank. If it looks the goods when i go to check it out i will purchase and do some modifications of adding a viewing window etc and it will be the new home for the cats and any more i can get!

EPIC! Wow what a journey. You have beautiful RTC's and I am glad to hear that they each made it home ok. They are already giants! It's amazing how we go out of our way to do for our fish......and I thought I had a journey haha but you have amazing RTC's and I am looking forward to hearing more about them and also seeing your massive enclosure for them once it's all done. All I have to say is awesome they look great :)
