You don't even need a tank, just put a fishbowl on it's head like a helmet...

absolutely just make sure you add a red tailed cat, and a wels catfish as tankmates. :screwy:

I feel I need a few Pacu in there just for good measure. The red on their bellies will contrast nicely with the RTC.

Man! petsmart! the guy I had could't siphon water out of a tank!

That sounds about right!

I was there one day and the guy tried to tell me Clown Loaches only grow to about 5''. I had a picture on my phone of one 13+'' and he about swallowed his tongue... Over the years I've had many interesting interactions with Petsmart employees. Sadly they're not the only shop employees who are literally clueless in general, much less in regards to various facets of keeping fish.

you should also throw in a few Arapaima gigas. the red on their scale contrast well with the RTC and your rbps.
 
That just might be pushing it JP!

All joking aside, is it staying in your bathtub, getting released, or being put in a real enclosure?

I put him in the tub to run clean water through him and cleanse him out. After that I cut him up in steaks and cut scraps off to feed my fish.

Most people would figure I catch these on Bluegill or other pan fish. Truth is, I catch them on 1'' slices of hot dogs of all things. For some reason the fish in this particular lake, go crazy over hot dogs. I've caught them from 1lb-45lbs using them.
 
or dinner table, that one can feed at least 10 ppl.
edit: you posted right before I did. lol. good eat.
