6x2x2 or a 180 is the commonly accepted absolute minimum.

I kept my RTG in a 6x2x2 and he was a bit jumpy and banged lids pretty regularly. Moved him into a 8x3x2 and it made a huge difference in his behaviour. Doesn't bang lids anymore, swims very powerfully through the tank and his diet increased.

It's important to note that RTGs don't get anywhere near as big as silvers so take that into account if you're considering a silver.
