I heard they both grow fast, so can they live together?
 
channel cat not that fast...IME...i think RTC grows faster.
 
They can live together if they are similar sizes... I would start with the channel being bigger than the rtc though
 
My channel grows at about 3/4ths the speed of my RTC. I got both around the same time the channel was 2", and the rtc was 1". Now the channel is 26", and the rtc is 28". I got the channel two months before the rtc. Channel is 1 year 8 months and the rtc is 1 year 6 months.
 
Oh and they have been living together for over a year now.
 
^wow. never knew that!!
lol. i wouldnt risk it if you like the channel.
 
They should be OK provide w/enough floor space.
