i disagree, RTC can grow as fast as a gator gar if fed right.

Bro you got keep niger before?? The fact that I kept RTC,gator gar and also arapamai before...between RTC , gator gar and niger I still say niger growth rate is the fastest and best of all it only need to eat pellet to grow so big and fast..I feel that a gator gar grow even a slower rate then RTC till it reach a size then it can eat more....BTW dun try to keep arapamai it is a pocket burn.

:grinno: Noway is a Niger going to grow faster than an RTC...you obviously had something wrong if that is your experience LOL

Nice attempt at a diversion by bringing up the gigas though :D
 
basslover34 - I've just picked up my first rtc not long ago so I can't comment too much on their growth rate but my niger made it to 30" in under 2 years so they can grow fast. The rtc is off to a fast start though :)

But bro really no diversion.. I spend alot on feeder before it can reach a size of 1ft and I am happy but for niger just throw in pellet and it really can grow so fast I feel like getting a few more...BTW I feed it with hikari pellet those type for goldfish very 53% in protein. I keep my ex RTC for 2 years and it reach less than 2ft but my niger less than a year already 13~14" so how??

My RTC cant reach 2ft in 2 years....perhaps keeping in tank and pond is hard to compare the growth rate.. where you keeping your fish?
 
Ok the Average RTC is going to hit 18"-24" in the FIRST year... anything smaller than that is a stunted fish...poor water quality, poor feeding habits (Like using goldfish feeders) insuficient space will all cause those problems...

Hell my nine month old is over 21" already and my 1 1/2 monthers are pushing 5"...
