ok, I think it is time to find my RTC a new home...I dont trust the little hippo. He just swallowed my umbee...a 25 dollar snack. Hope he will will be OK though, he looks like he might explode...Umbee was maybe 4-5 inches, and RTC is maybe 7inches. My other fish were picking on the umbee a bit as he was a new addition and he was hiding in the corner of my tank. I guess the RTC saw him as food being that he was acting nervous and skitish. Here is my RTC after his snack and here is the umbee at the LFS just before I got him. [video=youtube;c6XEoo_r-r0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6XEoo_r-r0[/video]

The other fish that are in the tank might be next pretty soon.
 
Looks pretty cool with a stomach that size (looks like gulper x RTC) but sorry about your loss, umbees are pretty awesome.
 
I've heard this story and experienced this story a dozen times. He'll probably puke it up and make your tank absolutely filthy in a day or so. Be ready to do a massive water change and cleaning.

Felix said it best...don't have tankmates, just future meals
