ARTC are nasty as he**!!!! I wouldn't have done that in the 1st place, hope your carpinte heals. Next time get a bigger one. It's common sense, a 2 inch carpinte can't defend itself against a 6 inch cat. Better luck next time.

yeah i know that
but was just hoping that it might work out
anyways the texas became catfood today
didn't want him to be one eyed for life

well good luck with any tank mates my asian redtail killed everything i put in the tank including him

The ARTC will not live with anything, mine even takes a dislike to sand, bogwood, filter uplift tubes and his own reflection.

I have mine on his own and the only thing I put in his tank is food.

Be prepared to have a 'one fish tank' or a very expensive fish purchasing budget.

he has been with me since he was 2.5" and was his own tank
now he is in a 50g tank
will get him a bigger tank once reaches 9"+ or so

My ARTC does pretty well with his tank mates right now. He is about 7"+. If someone gets near his hiding spot he will chase them out. That's about it though. I'm just waiting for the day that he will have to be alone.
