RTC Update

It's been just over a month and my little 3" RTC has evolved into a 5"+ eating machine. Here are some pics of him gorging himself:

looking good, growing fast, you'll have a monster on your hands in no time at all. Mine was about 26 inches long after 2 years.

His new home (200 gallons) will be ready next weekend. I am hoping that keeping him well fed until then will spare any unnecessary loss of life.

My lfs has some nice 8" royal clown knives that I am eyeing. I also want to add a silver arowana, a marble cat, my TSN when he gets large enough, a lince cat if I can find one small enough and a couple of wide bar dats.

My wife also wants a regular clown knife and some temensis peacocks as well.

This 200 will really just be a grow out tank for fish that I plan on moving to a 900 within the next year or two.

Any other ideas for tankmates?

Thanks. My wife loves the RTC. He's a real bully when it comes to his cave and food. He has no qualms about pushing anybody out of the way. Me personally, I prefer my dat. He tries to be real sneaky and he has become quite brave and is even willing to snatch krill away from the RTC.
