I have 90 gallon tank which is cycled, and I bought my first red tail payara because I have been looking for one for awhile. Anyways, I got him for $69.99. Well I am planning on getting another one tmw. They are 6 inches right now. Would I beable to fit another red tail payara in the 90 for now? I have a 180 on the way.

Thanks man I'll go pick him up tmw. Btw how long should I wait before I try converting them to frozen krill or carnivore pellets?

I hear they take some time to get used to an aquarium. I say after he is eating fine and eagerly you are good to try to wean him onto frozen food.

Yea my only fear is that he will only take feeders because they are WC. I hope I can convert them.
You can convert him. I starved mine for over a month before he ate. Read here:http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=282474 The more you give him feeders, the longer it will take.
I really hope we get some at work. I told my boss a week ago that I am 100% committed and serious to getting that fish. I have also been making sure that he knows what it is on a daily basis.

Thanks West1 thats what I was thinking bulk them up first, and then starve.

Thanks this was a big help, and I will give them 2 dozen feeders for the first feeding, and then i'm gonna use the starve method.
