ok wright now i only have a temporary home for them a plastic pond it's eight shaped but even for this as a begin will a fluval fx5 and an uv sterilizer be enough to filtrate the hole pond and keep it at decent water chemistry ? and what heaters ? how many watts ? how many heaters ? also the pond is 150 gallons and for me .. how much time does the pond will home the rtcs ?
guys i need some advices or information about the filtration i mentioned ...also i am adding an air pump ...please help me i want to buy the wright things i don't wanna make any mistake as they cots lot of $$$
I am being forced to run into this problem VERY Soon...honestly I get fairly angry will the ppl that post u need to do this and that or ur not good enough...personaly I believe you can try that size out...if it fails to be big enough....time to expand...just my too cents....have fun with it...just remember it is also a water ANIMAL but also keep in mind it is YOURs
yeah that's true as when someone needs help just help him trying to finish his dreams ..ok say him that wont be good but 700 g i don't think is that bad and also if he'll do something you say it's not good he'll see that on his own and regret it later ...i still need any answers about that filtration
P.S so you think i can try the 700 no ? anyway even if anybody will say is not good is the biggest home i can afford

I know quite a few people that keep rtc's in 300 gallon stock ponds. You should be fine. On average they grow 3 feet and live 8 years. And if u give them minimal food(yet enough to be ok) the most likely size is 30". 4' is what they get in the wild or massive ponds. It sounds to me like you have a good pond size. Of coarse everyone has their own opinions.

lots of people keep them in 300G stock tank and the fish seem ok about it, just do a lot of WC and it will be just as happy to see you like a dog, but IMO it is not the right thing to do!
BTW, RTC grow over 5' in the wild and there is some 5' RTCs in the 200000G tank at Dallas world aquarium!
guys the best news are : i bought one rtc that is around 3 inch and i am going to keep only he/she in the pond so the space problems will disappear as it would be only one rtc in the pond so the pond is big enough now for him/her going to post some pics or the rtc soon
