Hi guys, I got a RTC and a RTCxTSN two weeks ago. I've seen the xTSN eat and swim around alot, while the RTC has just sat for the last two weeks. I've never seen him eat. I drop in pellets at night for them to eat and it's gone by the morning. Today I noticed the belly of the RTC greyish/blackish. Is he dying of hunger??
 
rtcs have black bellys...if it is not eatting try so shrimp of even feeders if you think it is going to die...you do know they will get massive right...what is your tank size and peramiters... the cats might not be eatting cause your water is bad...
 
not to sound like an *** but have you done any research on these cats you have? if you did you should have seen the black stomach of the rtc...
 
hi, i had one before but his belly was white. i must've mistaked it for my RTCxTSN. i've done my research. thanks guys =D

Sbuse is correct, but the main reason I am concerned is are you seeing them eat, and what is the waterchange schedule/tank size or tank plans for these future 5 feet long plus fish.
