RTC couldn't swallow something and got owned too

Actually, it could have done a lot more damage if it wanted to

I'm actually surprised that the softshell never ate or bit any of your other fish in it's previous tank. Of course it is still young. They usually get moody when they are adults.

Actually it never bothered any fish in its current tank, she doesn't even mind any fish and crayfishes there...As for my observation she is really pissed off

Well you got lucky. Most of their diet in the wild is live aquatic prey like fish, frogs, tadpoles, crayfish and insects. Sometimes you can get lucky. I keep a pair of musk turtles with a pleco and a convict cichlid and they have never acted aggressively toward them at all. I think a lot of it has to do with giving them plenty of space and of course keeping them well fed!

Also having it on a young age is a factor coz i never taught him to eat live foods,just cichlid pellets


Yes im lucky from my african setup but not on the big fish setup:confused:
 
In a large aquarium, even a shark would live peaceful together with many of its natural diet fish. That means the same situation as you observed in your previous tank.
