I have a 6in+ tig and was wondering how big he should be until he goes in the big tank. The big tank has 12in+ gars, CK, 10in pbass, 7in rays, 10in oscar.

What size should he be when i put him in? Thanks
 
He will be on the bottom most of time id say he will be fine but your knife might be a prick. Id let it get a little bigger personally. I think mine was around 6-8'' when i got him on massivore and it was real easy. just starved it for awhile and that was it besides dropping pellets in his face. If you have him on pellets they grow. mine blew up from 3''-16'' in 11 months.
 
I wouldn't be mixing the rays with oscars but your tank your risk

The tig grows so fast just hold off as long as you can

I would wait until the tig is 12 inch then you can feed him on all foods at the moment you should only be feeding pellets at 12 inch he can eat anything he will need to grab what he can with the bass as I think your going to have problems getting him food
