2x RTC

[sje106]

Hi Guys and Gals,

does anyone know of keeping just two RTC together? i have heard and seen it but they were either real small or big in massive public aquarium.
i am looking to put a 12 inch+ and a 20 inch in the same tank/pond. the tank is an outdoor brick contraption with panes of glass to view.

just an idea i got.

how big is the pond? ive seen them together more than a few times

i had 2 together for a while but one got bigger than the other way too fast. and the bigger one started to beat up on the little one. if the pond/tank big enough and you know the rtcs are going to grow at pretty much the same rate then it would be real cool!

I think the 12" would be in danger from the 20" one trying to eat it.

that was my main concern, th bigger eatin the little one. little may be bit bigger than what i said. maybe do some intense feeding on the lil blighter to make him grow bit quicker to catch up lol

Probably a safer idea .

I had two together and there was never a problem with them of course my two were very docile and were hand fed everyday
