2 weeks ago i bought 5 30cm RTCs. I gave them foods but ate a little until now. 2 of them dead. Everybody says RTCs are greedy, but not for mine. They look. Anybody know what's the problem?


and I have 14 small RTCs. i 've been keeping the, for 5 months but they're only 5 inches now. Again, they don't eat a lot.
can anybody tells me what I should do?
 
The small ones i put them in blue fibre tank (that's what I call it) about 150 x70 cm. the big ones in the small pool about 3x5 meters.
Both depths are about 40cm. Is it good enough?
and I just remember I move them to the fiber & small pool about 2 days ago.
 
What are you attempting to feed them? What were they eating before hand? What are your water parameters? don't post 'good', we need numerical figures. At least they are homed in a decent sized tank/pond, though I don't have the faintest of ideas why you want over 15 fish that reach 4ft+.
 
Please, address as many of these questions as you can to help us help you, especially water parameters in numbers (mg/L or ppm) for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, temp, hardness, TDS, etc. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...ish-Health-Diagnostics-(Read-before-posting-)

If you do not give us the water parameters and do not describe the kit you use, we will always assume your problems are likely due to water being not good in one way or another and you'll not get a reliable help here or anywhere.
 
thanks for the advices. I think they are stress because there's is no hiding place. I use bogwood and they seem like hiding there.
I feed them frozen shrimp and frozen worm. I feed them in the evening, the next morning all of the food are gone. well, At least they eat. What kind of food is good for them?. I give them small fishes but they seem don't like it.

Note: I'm planning to sell them when they're bigger.
