RTC x TSN questions

- Start date
everybody CALM DOWN!!! hes in the new 75 now ill upload some pics tomorow and i feed him 5 or 6 algae pellets and an estimated amount of carnivore pellots every other night, if you have some better feeding suggestions please run them by me
raw deshelled market shrimp, squid, fish fillets, massivore pellets. feed him till his belly is huge 3-4 times per week. i dont even see any meat on his back beside his dorsal fin....... you have a fish with HIGH demand, you cant treat it like a goldfish from wal-mart.
i will post pics of mine when i get off work tomorrow just so you can do a compairison, at 16" or so he is as big around as a 1 liter bottle
i feel so incredibly bad its just ive had bad experiences with overfeeding and i was always too afraid to feed him too much but after today i will get right on track with an all new feeding schedule and menu, thank you very much
not just you, but i have seen alot of things on the forum tonight that make me sad. i havent been on here in a while, things change fast

Well, your about to have another bad experience if you don't get that RTC a MUCH bigger tank/pond soon. Buy one of those backyard above ground pools, heat it, and filter it in the garage/basement/other room. Oooor get rid of your fish, because that fish can potentially grow as long as that tiny 75 he's currently in.
the lure of that fish was just too much i knew i shouldnt have gotten him but it did it anyway and now i just feel so foolish
