Nice rtc... in a matter of weeks he will grow from 2'' to 5''.

Yep. I can't wait

i just watched the video.
he's utterly magnificent.
i'm so dam jealous, illegal for me i believe *wipes away tear*

Thanx

Maybe theres some other type of large catfish you can keep?

nice rtc..
With regards of mixing it to with the oscars,i think it's best you use a divider.i tried it before,oscar picked on the rtc.then the 2nd problem was feeding.my oscars will eat all food,so i had to hand feed the rtc.lol!
I got rid of the oscars eventually,the 2 decided to pair up(both are female)!lol!
Now my rtc owns the tank and have grown from 2" to 6" in 2 months.

Yea, I didn't really have high hopes for the oscar getting along with him, tried to keep a suncat with him once...didn't work out, the cat got beat up.
