I know they still get pretty big and I think I know the answer to this (no) but I'll ask anyway.
could a SB RTC be kept in a 180 for life?

RTC should be really active, i wouldnt personally keep one in less than 8'x4' if they get 16 - 20 inches![]()
Noone really knows, but i once found this, and i heard that they would get to like 16" - 20" on the forums.Oh I thought SB RTCs only got like 14" Nevermind then.
Hey William! The growth data I have just cited in your thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?584392-New-challenge is not only what I had observed but is representative of a number of keeper's experiences who keep pet RTC's more or less adequately. Not that I am closed to corrections or differing opinions/experiences.
I see. While you are rightfully pointing out my oversight, I was mainly just qualifying my statement in your threadYeah I see. This Q was posted before you posted that. Thanks
I would like to add on to RTCxTSN behavior. Mine has this weird thing where he does not want ANYTHING in his tanks/ponds moved. As in, he is always actively swimming but when you add a new rock, pot, plant or anything to his tank he freaks out and lays sideways in the corner. But the second i remove it he is all happily swimming again. Has anybody else witnessed this?
Also, mine is not aggressive towards tankmates. I can keep 3 inch SA cichlid growouts with him. a foot long massive beast with little cichlids. He also did not eat for a week after i got him. And he did not grow at all in the first month but in the second month he grew 4 inches! Then it has been about an inch a month possibly more.
