sam_cj said:imo as RTC grow very big (e.g. 3-4ft.), try to build the largest tank you can say a minimum of 350gals. goodluck on your project and please post a picture once it's completed.
tank/pond needs to be bigger!!! IMO
ive never kept one, but i wanted to at one time, i was told tanks are most likly going to be to small, you probably need a pond
You could imagine the size of the Amazon river, since that is where they live, but realistically, you could give them a nice home if the size of their enclosure is around 10 feet x 5 feet x 6 feet ...that would be nice for several monster fish, since you are building it. Minimum, I would say 7 feet x 3 feet x 2 feet.
Well you could always plan it around the cat...If RTC's can reach 4' I would go 1.5 times the length of the fish by 4x the length so that would be an 6w x 16L x whatever height you choose. That's a big tank!
I had one at 5 feet. It weighed in at over 80 lbs.
I've got a juv right now in a 400 gallon, and it's too small.
I'd suggest that the tank should be 10x6 for a foot print if not bigger. Depth doesn't matter much with these guys. Four or five feet would be nice to see, though.
