Pepper the RTC Progression Thread :) <3

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Pepper's in his new tank ... Can't fill it up yet because I can't plumb it all completely so I have my FX 5 running on it in the front and only 2/3 full. Lots of room for the babies and more water than they had already. They are going to love this.

Nice looking cat! Great color. I remember when mine was that small. They grow so fast. It's been 2.5 years for me and love every minute of it

Thx :) He has been VERY active today, during his water change. Wow, I just don't think I have ever seen him this active before.

RTC are nocturnal thus you should never really see him active during the day given the proper environment. Also Hiding places are a must for catfish. Incredible, He should out grow the 300gal before his first birthday....If hes growing at the rate you state he will 2ft+ by then. These things are monsters. I would also take any other fish you dont want to get eaten out of that tank, they will get eaten. Esp the rays if your RTC goes to swallow one it will kill him and the ray. Thats the reason i took my adonis pleco out of my tank. He will soon swallow and eat anything he can fit in mouth.

Also I try not to mix non-native species. The RTC is from the Amazon which has more species then anywhere else in the world. For some reason Native fish look better all together to me. Like for chichalid I first thought Oscars then chose the P-bass due to the whole Amazon thing. From reading your thread Im guessing one day you will have a tank 700G+, you should consider making it an all amazonian tank.
