RTC Tankmates

[AU_Arowana-RG]

What sort of fish would comm well with an RTC?

Also, how big do they get in the aquarium and how big do they get in the wild?

Nothing that fits in it's mouth.

4ft+ in both settings.

Do not buy unless you can provide a massive tank.

oscares are good ones

i have both of mine with pacu ascars and peacock bass

 

[Jeox]

oscares are good ones

They end up food eventually though.
I'd have to reccomend pacu, if you have the space.
They are way too tall for even the biggest rtc to eat.

pacu/gg/arapimagigas/tsn/rtcxtsn hybrid any thing large like that

arapaima, (gator!) gars, other big cats such as TSNs, Pacu, big Silver Arowana, in short, huge fishes. . . maybe those that reach at least 2 ft and has the bulk to go with it... i'm not sure about their max size but i heard 4ft or so, and the list of them fishes that might work with them would already tell you about their size! merry xmas

Phractocephalus hemioliopterus will reach a length of about 5 feet in the wild and a weight of 120+ lbs.

As for tankmates, anything unaggressive that grows more than 2-3 feet will work. In your heated indoor pond, that is. lol. =)
