they r all babies right now
I'm sorry but that is still no excuse to keep them in that size of tank. RTC's can outgrow your tank quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches 8 inches and gobbles your arowana, TSN, gar and peacock bass even if you haven't obtained your bichir yet.

When are you exactly going to get a 360g? What about the 20k? Do not buy another fish until you can sort out your stocks.
 
I hate reading posts like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR FISH A NEW TANK NOW or get RID of them! How can you even justify having ANY of those fish in a 29gal? Maybe if you already had a 360g and it was cycling I might understand but what you are doing to your fish is BS!!!!! You should be ashamed....:irked:
 
no way this would work

either you would have to buy the poly huge... which it would then turn around and eat your smaller fish

or you would have to buy the poly small, and then either catfish will eat it

or you would have to buy the poly the same size... and the catfish will outgrow it and eat it.

so let me get this straight... your biggest tank right now is a 29? yet you are already planning on getting a 300+ and a 20K??

the 360 is done cycling. so its okay theyre all fine for now in the 360. anyway it should hold my rtc for a while till i get the 20 k built. ive seen people keep them in a 360 for a long time. his only about 5 inches long so i have nothing to worry about
 
you can get polys that wont eat your fish and wont be eaten by your fish...
but the cats will definitly outgrow and eat everything...
 
How about some pics of the 360? Sounds awesome
 
Once your 360 is ready then you could put an endli with them get the endli as big as you can and it would work for a little while but eventually the RTC will out grow and eat any bichir

a huge endli would eat a 5 inch RTC though...
