I saw a big one at OTF, it is about 3ft

my 12inch RTC ate my 8inch RTC up.... so yeah guess u wouldnt want it as a tankmate

RTC is a great sport fishing fish. thus making it a really strong fish. they do have a cute face though

Bro gang, think you might consider first as on top of their feeding, you might also wanna consider your tank size and the thickness. They are heavily armoured, so breaking the tank when in frenzy or shock is highly possible. Ifusing cars to compare diet aros are like a 2L car and a red tailed cat is more like a 5L car as they eat till they almost burst one.

Agree with you, bro!!! They are really good fighter... Tried once at Pasir Ris Farmway 3, took me at least 45mins to land the fella.

those at bottle tree park are getting even bigger

Bottle tree park big ones are from 2-3ft min. Not for weak hearted.

Is a catch and release pond for both bottle tree park and pasir ris farmway 3?
