I picked up a baby 3" RTC/TSN just under a month ago and wow he's already 5+"...He swallows anything I feed him including eating 2 of my 3" pbass's...Do these grow faster then regular RTCs?
Fast growth rate on RTC/TSN

They can grow pretty fast. I had one that grow from 4" to 8" in a couple of months. I've also had a RTC that grew from 2" to 9" in 5 months. Both grow really fast.
Ya I guess their growth rate are similair to one another. Also this is my first RTC/TSN. I've researched on how they are larger in size when full grown then the normal RTC?
It still hasn't really been proven. There is a possibility of them becoming Hybrid Vigor, but the largest I've heard so far has been in around the 30ish" range where RTCs have been recorded over the 50" mark.
though anything that hits 30+" is still large to meMine went from 3" to 18" in a little over a couple of months and grew quicker than any rtc i've had. Growth rate and appitite has declined since then and the last 6 months has only gone from 18" to 24".
