i have the opportunity to pick up a srt tommorrow from a freind. im new to the hybrid part of the hobby and dont really know what to expect out this fish. ive been reading threads in this section that say theyre pretty aggressive fish but people also say that about plenty other fish that thrive in community settings. its around 5 1/2 inches max size right now. i was wondering if i could get it used to living with tankmates his size and a little bigger. tankmates are p-bass and mahseers ranging from 5 thru 7 inches. please give me any and all feedback
SRT in a community setting?

Hi Jey,
In my opinion, I wouldnt try it. All the SRTs Ive known have been extremely aggressive once they are comfortable in the tank. My 7" RT is very very territorial and bites anything that comes into his tank.
But, give it a try,it may work.

thanks for the reply Bulldog, i picked him up today and have him in a 150gl with 6 golden sharks (top water swimmers) now my question is what should i feed this guy. i was looking on aquabid and thinking about buying either chingmix, grand sumo any one have any food they really like and have seen good results? pls help
I've been feeding mine Hikari Gold and he's turned out to be have excellent color and is pretty thick too......
To be honest, I dont think the speciality FH foods work.
Much better to feed a good quality cichlid staple (Hikari) bloodworms and live shrimps.IMO.
