Give him a month and a half, tops -- then he'll be bigger than they are.

If the rtc is currently 3", then expect the loaches to start being eaten soon. I had a 3" rtc eat a 2" p-bass not too long ago. If it fits in the mouth, it will be eaten!

The problem is that loaches have spines on their heads. Eating a loach could seriously harm the RTC, and possibly kill him. You really need to get this fish into a proper home or take him back to the store. The situation keeps getting worse and worse for the little guy.
