why does everybody think rtc can be 5 feet long (in captivity) im sure ill get flamed for this but max is 30 inched (once again in captivity)
13 ojhhhhhhhh
im 14 lol
im 15.. =]
rtc can get 4-5 feet just remember that lol …….
What is the actual-average max six of a tsn and rtc?
How big is that tank?
how old are all you people on here? cause im only 16 and i think im the youngest one
wow this is just beautiful. I like putting these kinds of videos on full screen because its so relaxing, especially when my grandniece comes over.
yeah i know, that’s why i started to take out the lava rocks… it looked nice but was afraid it was uncomfortable for them, so i went back to the pebbles.
thanx
HAHA ok sorry. Thought you where saying 2 and a half feet.
i had limited characters to write that above. i had to hack the crap out of it to get it all down…..
it says grow2 5′—->”grow to five feet”
RTC and TSN should both grow bigger then that. Plenty of ppl have then over 3′ and quite a few have them over 40″.
i went to the pet shop and there was 10′pacus getting bullied by 4′ convict.
WOW, nice Shovel. Perfect color. I had to sell my Tiger/Redtail hybrid before I shipped out for the Army. I’m getting another one when I get back from Afghanistan.
lol i feel you about the pacu growth rate thing..
how big/old is it now?
your fish are nice. Just watch they don’t accidently scratch themselves on the sharp rocks. It’s happened alot in my tank so i got different rock.
all the fish get along. the biggest brawl was the red devil and green terror had a lip-lock contest for about 15-20mins. now they swim side by side.
RTC,TSN,pacus can grow2 5′. u already no how fast the pacu grows,thats nothn compared2 this redtail.bought him7/16 he was1 1/2″now 8/16 he’s 11″. i just added latest video.
being that ur pacus owned that tank all this time i would put a divider in the tank4, 1-2months, b4 add’n a redtail. @ this point they’r just going 2 think he’s food. give the redtail time2 grow n the pacus time2 get used2 seeing the redtail.
P.S. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR 2 MONSTERS!
hey, cool fish. We have 2 pacu’s about 2 feet each, how does your get along with the catfish? How big will your catfish get? We are thinking of getting one.
nice man….my RTC ate my TSN. the RTC grew way too fast.
