Here's a lil growth update on my rtc, got him in december on like the 8th. tomorrow will be 2 months basically so i wanted to show his growth within the 2 months....

back when i first got it, you can see how tiny he is comparing it to that suction cup which is only like a 1" suction cup...

Darn fast!
 
now thats a GLUTTON i never want to have to feed... might as well feed it your money!
 
man haha, i dont feed this thing no more then i feed my bichirs, or even my smaller fish. im sure in size he'll require more food. but i feed my aro's 20x more then what i feed this thing.
 
What size tank is he in? What are your long (er, I mean SHORT term!!!) plans? Got a pool in your basement?

It was a bad joke...extremely bad joke that i said. i needed to add. (ba dump CH) or (is this thing on, tappaing a microphone)
 
no pool. no basement, im in san diego. he started in the 60gal. bumped him into the 150 til he's 6 months, or maybe less. then into the 400gal til further notice. im sure he'll be fine for atleast 3-4 years as they average to hit about 3-3.5ft by that time, depending on how i manage his diet. by then i will thin out my sock in the 400gal to just the 2 silver aros, the 3 gars, and the 2 cats and hopefully my pair of motoros.
 
What are the dims of a 400? Price range? Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me
 
the dimensions on the 400 are 8x2.5x2.5 which is actually 375, but with the sump n everything its over 400, so i jus call it 400. n i got a smokin deal locally, for 500 bux
 
That's a pretty nice length. Good luck with it and keep us updated with growth pics - Every 2 weeks perhaps? LOL
