this morning i woke up and my 12 inch RTC's stomach was enormous. i havent fed him in a day or so and i looked around my tank and tried to find out what was missing, i didn't see my 15inch arowana swimmin around any where. i can't believe that it ate a fish that big. my catfish is probaly the most beautiful cat fish you have ever seen. i looked at all the pics on the internet and this site and mine beats all of them. i will try to post a pic later. but i ain't very good at this technology stuff.

wow a 12inch red tail ate a 15inch Aro? Thats nuts, you sure the aro didnt jump out? DAMN!
very very common. rtc love the taste of aros. better to keep rtc with aros that are about 5 years older. so the silver will already have size on it and it'll be to big to be considered food. usually happens when there around the same age.
That's awesome make sure you don't fall asleep too close to tank one night. somebody might be posting pics of you being cut free from an RTC's belly.
No kidding Oddball, every other day someone is posting about my RTC ate (place any fish here).
I have a question, are RTC's active hunters? Do they hunt visually or by feel like some other cats?

big cats just do it

Right, im aware of them being an apex pred. Im asking if they actively hunt? Thanks for the answer to the visual question.
They look to have a body designed for decent speed in the wild, so do they pursue or ambush, sit and wait to snap.
