Blue Jade Goby > RTC

so last week I special ordered a red tail catfish from my local pet store. Friday, I went and picked him up. Problem was, he was ALOT smaller then I wanted. He was 2", and I wanted a 6-7" one. Sense he was so small, I figured I can put him in my girls 55gallon tank until he grew a little. I have 3 jade gobys, raphael cat, albino oscar and a jardini in there.

woke up this morning and started looking for the little dude. Couldnt find him. After moving everything and looking for half a hour, I figured the culprit with the big belly was the one. The dumb jade goby. He is about 10".

so needless to say, im pretty pissed about it.

plenty of us have gone thru that.

its fish eat fish world out there. Be quite glad it was the RTC that got ate not the other residents of the tanks or your daughters would have been upset right? thats the flip side to it.

Look in the classifieds if you "special" ordered thru the lfs more likely some will be trying to rehome theirs.

well, I bought another RTC yesterday, that was twice the size of the previous one.

brought him home and put him in the same tank as the one before with the Gobys and my 10" jardini.

I figured sense the RTC was bigger then the previous one, no one could eat him? right?

WRONG.

4 hours later, im searching the tank and hes gone. Who was the suspect with the fat ass stomach? My JARDINI. So, now I blamed the last one on the goby, when infact I think the jar has now eaten both of the RTC's.

So, what did I do? 10" jar went in the bigger tank to spend the rest of his life (short or long) with my three, 15"+ florida gars and my 22" silver.
