get a school of Lima IMO or 2 TSN. They would be fine in that tank if the dimensions are right..

 

[Oscarboyz]

you think the rtc wouldnt work?

 

[Oscarboyz]

mabey this would make it easier which catfish would pose less of a threat as in death to my other fish that are going in the tank, 1, 14" oscar, 1, 10" jd 3
9" parrots and 5 15" p bass?

at like 20" would the rtc or tsn be able to eat my jd? and i know they get bigger

Yes, congrats on the tank.

 

[Oscarboyz]

dammit

 

[Oscarboyz]

i really wanted the rtc but i dont wanna loose my jd would he eat him even if they grew up together?

You might be fine for a long time but eventually everything with possible exception of the pbass will become lunch. I've read numerous stories where a RTC or a TSN ate of attempted to eat a fish that was only a few inches smaller.

Just one example. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42892&highlight=rtc
