Your peacock bass are as good as dead in less than a month. I say take the RTC back and keep the peacock bass or take them all back and get something that stays much smaller.

why do you think the pbass would be dead in a month? if the cat only has a inch on the pbass, they should be fine.
RTC's can eat things bigger then they are, theres a picture on the internet of a 9" that spent all day attacking a 18" Clown Knife, finally killed it, and spent the next day eating it
yeah i have seen rtc's eat things way too big, but if its fed properly it shouldnt desire to kill and eat something so close to its size.
they can never be completely full, and if they really want something then they just spit up everytign in theyre stomach and go for the next target
what would the size ratio need to be between a rtc and pbass? 3 to 1, which i know the rtc would eventually catch up
