He's new and still adjusting. He may also be frightened of the others, depending on how large they are. He's probably frightened of the turtle- turtles tend to be bad tankmates for most fish.
Me and the mrs went into our LFS the other day. They had a baby RTC about 2" long. My mrs was drooling over the cuteness and wanted it so bad. This is the same woman who surprised me a few weeks ago by investing in a baby RTGG. "But out tanks massive, it"ll be fine" she said as i was hyperventilating on the floor. I had to take the owner to one side and tell him, no more fish for this loonatic of a woman!
Hey! So I'm considering getting a redtail cat. My sister's dad builds custom tanks and he's willing to do a total tank install in our basement.
The room itself is 15' W X 20'L and the ceiling is about 8'
Should I have a really shallow really big tank? Or should I get a pond installed elsewhere?

I got an rtc last spring as a present from my wife, she got it on clearance sale. Unfortunately though i do not have a set up to really support him, and the store she bought it from closed 2 days after the purchase so i was unable to exchange it for something more suitable.
He is now currently 19.5 inches long .
I am now in the process of trying to make a large living space for him in my garage utilizing plexi-glass. It currently is about 75% complete, and has a ladder to get in and out for cleaning.
My problem though is i have to find a good way to filter it since it is going to essentially be an indoor pool by the time its said and done. I am currently trying to repurpose a pool filter to do the job, but have concerns about it not supplying enough oxygen into the water.
It stands at 6ft long, 5ft wide and 4ft high.
Anyone have any ideas that won't include a sump system? Already have too many tanks in there and dont want to have to clear a load more space to do a large sump system for the project.

As for the feeding of my rtc and his 2 tank mates.
A 19 inch northern pike and a 9 inch oscar. I strictly feed them only live/dead food.
Be it mice, minnows, crayfish, bugs, worms or leaches.
