I agree. I like the personalities of the rtc. My buddy kept one in a 75gal for awhile till it got too big and then he put it in his pond. Someday ill have the space...... hmmm Ill hafta call in the guys from tanked lol

My RTC seems to only hang out under a log all day and only come out at night. Now I know it is normal for cats to be more active at night, its just that he doesn't seem to come out at all during the day. I only wonder because I hear about RTC that swim around quite a bit. Is there a reason for this and or a way to fix the reason or train the fish to be more active?

Wow, I was just about to ask on this side of the forum whether a RTC could be housed in a 150g... But I now know better.

i have always wanted to keep one but the store clerk tells me not to keep them because of their growth and appetite for fellow fishes.
