RTC & TSN-150 gallon?

[FISHY FINGAZ]

both fish approx: 6-7 inches



ok i know it wont house these things permenately but im still blue printing my 100 gal. build so im thinking of gettin my friends 150 gal. off him for dirt cheap right now and im wonderin how much time this will buy me? (in Lamins terms, how long can they live in there.) i have them in a 60 right now along with a few others and my water paremeters are good so i can probably keep them in that for another 4 months im guessing until my freind is ready to sell his 150 they will be moved to that when i get it, but exactly how long will it hold them? i was told around a year or two depending how i feed them!

ur opinion is appreciated!

Get the tank, then the fish. I do not think it is possible for anyone to accurately predict your situation as you are asking.

already have the fish..... any other ideas?

do you mean you're blue printing a 100gal or 1000gal?!

Those 2 will probably grow at a couple of inches per month so the sooner you can get them from the 60 to the 150 to something larger the better. What are their tank mates? I have a TSN that's not good at telling the difference between a feeder and a tank mate! (i think it's probably cost me about £150 in 'tank mates' so far) If they get hungry cause of lack of food to keep them small then your other fish might start to disappear.

What's the width on his 150g? If it's 20in or 24in, then you should get about a year or so. I wouldn't bet on much longer than that.

You cant really say how long as it depends on multiple factors such as diet, water paramters, waterchanges etc... but id say no longer than a year imo

i got myself a rtcxtsn last december he has already had an upgrade from 150 up to 300

My RTCxTSN went from 3" to 22" in a little less than a year. He's in a 180 gallon at the moment, and getting a big upgrade in the next few weeks. The tank he's in is 24" wide, and I can't wait to get him out of there. He's a pretty active fish, so the 180 feels like a 20 gallon right now. I hear this is a pretty normal experience with these guys.

Very true what W.W. says, I picked up a 14 inch rtc x tsn last march and it is now close to 20 inchs and very well filled out .
If you give them the correct amounts of food and the right kind of care ,as you should be, they grow very fast.
