Will these be ok with a RTC?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The pacus have to be be GIANT not to get eaten. Same with the pbass. A giant hungry pacu can also mess other fish up, make sure there's plenty of veggies for them

Tsn cannot eat prey items as large as RTC, correct. As for the original post, in TL's monster pond his pbass were eaten but the pacu are still alive although he has 4' RTC and 6' Pimas.

fair enough. just playing on the side of caution lol.

Well, can a TSN work with a ray? I fo not even want pacu... They are just the only thing i could think of that could go with a rtc... So, would PBASS a ray a TSN, amd ither large fish like a giant gourami work???

Yes that sounds good. But a large ray will almost cost you as much as a tig. Or are you growing them out from a small size?

you dont wont to pay $500 bucks for a fish but how much do you think the tank will cost to house the cats you mentioned

so your going to buy a $20 RTC TSN or hybrid then spend about $2000+ to set up a tank for it thats a smart move

if you dont have $500 to spend you need more money for large cats
 
Tsn mouth are designed to open much larger than adult rtc. Anatomically their skulls are lighter and more loosely connected than rtc. Adult tsn can take larger prey than rtc. Rtc is an advanced and opportunistic predator that takes a wide variety of prey items but in the wild mainly crustaceans. Tsn is more of a sit abd wait predator and needs the very large mouth to take whatever sized prey comes close but will also actively hunt when hungry. Planiceps takes it even farther. The flatter the head and more compressed it is the larger the mouth can gape. Size of the body has nothing to do with it. 2' rtc mouth gapes about 5" but 2' tsn mouth can gape around 7". Much thinner fish but the anatomical design allows the mouth to open much farther. :) just though i would throw that out there.
