Bought a 7 inch Tig Cat today for my 180 gallon. After Acclimation, my Marbled Salfin Pim (about 22 inches) had a nice meal 
Cool fish for about 10 minutes.

Pretty expensive feeder, probably woulda recommended at least a 16" tig for safety sake with a marble pim that size though, they have HUGE appetites and a big mouth like a RTC. Sorry for your loss though that sucks, if you don't mind me asking where did you find tigs right now because I'm half way looking to pick one up ~Trent
Sorry to hear that. did you happen to take any pics of that encounter? Just curious it's nice to share!

forgive me
but i found that funny
Hmmm, this has me thinking my rtc x tsn has outgrown at least one of his tankmates. I think it is time for my tsn x P. blochii to go to a different tank. It is only 16 inches and the tsn x rtc is 28 1/2 inches. What do you guys think? It could definitely fit in his mouth. LOL that is one big feeder though. The largest thing he has eaten so far was a white sucker at 14 inches, but much, much less thick than my small hybrid. Ehh, if he does i will take pics. Sure it would take a few days to digest.
oh yeah, the tsn x rtc was only 22 inches when i first got him so there was no worries then, but now.............to be continued!
hahaha just kidding man, but that sucks. Did you really not think the marble cat was going to eat the tig?Being we're on the topic of having our fish eaten by other fish...what would you guys recommend for housing a lima shovelnose, a tiger, and an RTC x TSN? I have the RTC x TSN currently and it's only pushing 6". But I am interested in getting the other two as well. Will they do ok in an aquarium or are other measures recommended? For that matter, would these 3 catfish try to kill/eat eachother or would they shake fins and enjoy the others company?
