When I got my RTC last month, he was about 3.5 inches. Now he's like 7.5". Good luck keepin em small...They're mouth is so freaking big, its awesome how fast they grow!
dovii, I'm just curious what you plan on doing with your RTC when he is "full grown". I have my 14" in a 200 that has an 8' x 2' footprint, and he's already starting to get too large for it (in my opinion).
Beautiful fish everyone! I have a RTC getting growing in my a 10 gallon till it hits about eh... 6 inches or so then to my 125 he goes for me to enjoy for about a year or so then to a classified he goes! :-D But I'm guessing within a month he'll be big enough to throw in my "cam tank" :-D
