Here is my 20 gallon long divided tank. RTC on the left, 5 Pbass on the right.

2 Orinos
2 Ocells
1 Mono.

Looks like I beat the ick too, but still treating for it. I may leave them in there for another week. I'm just a little worried to remove the divider because I think the RTC could maaaaaybe get his jaws around the Orinos.


3 days ago on my fishing trip, my mom's got the camera out cause dad's fighting a nice bass. Well look who curiously followed my bucktail!

Enjoy!

I didn't end up catching the muskie though.... eergghh! He was in like 2-3 feet of water and came right to the boat.
 
Don't take the divider out. I guarantee that rtc will eat your orinos. What do you plan to raise these fish in because the rtc will always be too big to house with the cichla.

I keep the Pbass in my 125 before my friends pond. As for the RTC, I planned on rehoming him when he gets too big [obviously] but he will be in my 125 as well. I know he grows faster then the Orinos will too. hmmm...
 
nice fish man. and had that muskie taken the bait, your mom wouldve had a heck of a time taking pictures while you were trying to get that bad boy in the boat! they're some of the wiliest fish to get on the boat, even in the net!

Thank you sir. And I've only caught them from land, never in a boat. Oh, and we didn't have a net!
 
SECOND QUESTION!!

What do you guys think about putting the Mono on the left with the RTC because he is almost twice as big as my Orinos. I don't want that to be a problem down the road, I'd like to get them close to similar in size.
 
You can't keep anything with the rtc unless it is as big or bigger than the cat. You'd be surprised what they can eat. Rehome it now would be my advice.
