RTC Update

Only 5 "? Just wait another month. This is the time you will want to remove anything you think can fit in his mouth, even the heater isn't safe. I've seen and heard many stories. At 4" my RTC was taking down 4.5" fat bala sharks. Have fun playing with your pet. But you, like me, might have to find it a more ethical home when it gets too much past a foot (won't be long).

nice redtail ! hope u keep him for ever, and not get rid of him like every one else! good work

Definitely don't have any plans for getting rid of him. He's in my 200 now and we are currently saving up for his next home in the 400 - 600 range. Plus my wife has a long term goal of something much bigger for him and the peacock bass she wants.

Yeah, he's already pushing 7". He's in with a 10" royal clown knife that doesn't take any gruff from him. I need to find a nice 10" - 12" aro and some good sized peacock bass now and I'll be set.
