That sounds like best tank to put the Carapo in. Although I'm not too sure on how the RTG will act.
The RTG right now is very passive.
sorry i forgot ot mention there is a 10 inch CK in there. but i can move that to the other tank no worries.
it leaves everything alone.
it chases the add spotten metynis, but generally the RTG is very laid back.

not manh fin nippers maybe the 6 bar.
what do you tink?
i really wnt the knife, i will remove sev and 6 bar if needed, only possible fin nippers there. i want this knife, its rare in NZ. but the aro is rarer and my pride and joy.
more advise would be awesome~!!!!!
so generally they are peacful so long as they arent with fish that are fin nippers and that like to harass?
both tanks are 1200 litres.
first atnk is 2400x81w, 60h
second tank is 2100x83w, 72h
How big is the carapo? That would depend on the size of the carapo. If they came in smaller than 12" then I say NO. They would look like an eartworm. You can always grow them or add plenty of hiding space and feed them during the night. The only problem I'm seeing is the severum and the RTG. RTg are know to attack newly introduce tankmates even though they don't bother their current tank mates.
If your carapo have plenty of hiding space then you can keep mutiple carapo. The CK won't even bother them. I have CK with my carapos as I mention before.
the severums will go i decided, i will get rid of them. dont actually like them too much.
i will row out the carapo till big, id ont know what size yet, but i wont add it straight away.
so you think multiple carapo in a big tank is ok?
hwo many is a good number?
and adding carapos in a established tank with a CK should be ok?

You know what... update us when ypu have the catrapo as we really have to know the size of the carapo as they are very thin even at 10" and even thinner if smaller than that. Best to get an extra tank or prepare a divider just incase. If the carapo is about 15" the they should be okay. Those CL won't be bother nor the CL will bother the carapo. The thing I'm worry about in tank 1 are the 17" 1.5 red and the ornate if the carapo is smaller than 15". Even my 14" orante was able to swallowed a 12" BGK and they are wider than carapo.
