ah gotcha, i feed my rtc as much as hell eat as often as hell eat it, whenever im home and i walk by the tank and he comes up to the top, like he does when hes hungry i drop some pelletes in, his growth was stunted a little when i moved apartments so hes only about 18in and i got him in june, when he was about an inch, hand fed him from a spoon with blood worms at that age
