I just moved my RTC into his new home. Seems to like it. I can't wait till he settles in. Right now he is just resting in the corner of the pond. He has been in there for about a week. Tried to feed him twice this week but no go. Probably from the stress of the move i hope.
Well here he is.

His colors are truly amazing. Even his dorsal and pectoral fins have red on them!

Looks good, should last him quite a while. I'd recommend finding a different substrate, though. The white rock provides great visual contrast but is a potential hazard to your catfish. My hybrid swallowed a bunch of rock and luckily regurged it after I removed all my substrate.

Looks nice! Good job. I'd vote against rock substrate as well. Either sand or real large rocks or nothing (my pref.). The bright light makes him uncomfortable. Maybe you used it only for a photo shoot.
