I think its pretty common for RTCs to swallow then spit up rocks. I work in the industry and have seen or heard of this pretty often.

yeh sum people say they do it wen they wana force themselves to puke (ie. wen they have indigestion). shouldnt be a huge problem unless they eat way too many rocks or they eat a huge one...niblit;1259465;1259465 said:
My hybrid ate some big rocks(3.4" dia) and puked them up a month later, they were really worn one one side of both rocks. You could see the shape of them in his gut. I had quarantined some perch and when I put them in with him he snapped them up so quick he got rocks with them. He's fine though.
My TSN and my RTC eat and spit rocks out all the time when they eat their Massavore. the stone even comes out his gills.
hello i got a RTC x TSN in a very small 100 gallon....and hes only 1" but the only questions i need to have answered is how big do they get and how long will it take for then to reach 1'? and would a 13' diameter 3' high pond or pool work for a full grown one for life? and what other big cats can i put in their....?Also what is the approxiamate US Gallon of the 13' ?
i got him for $10 at this place near my place...Just for your information...also what types of food should i give to it...i only got it to eat raw market shrimp thats been cut up really nicely...
Small 100 gal or 10gal? 100 gallons should hold him for maybe 1.5 years but will need a lot more room after that. I had mine in 55gal for 9 months and my tsn and my rtc are now in 125 gal comfortable but will need more room (hopefully next step for me will be a pond.)OddBark16;1309729;1309729 said:
i have a rtc and he is about 6" or 7" i was wondering if there is any type of food i can feed him so his tail gets redder. alot of people have told me that i just have to wait till it gets bigger, but i believe that there are certain foods that could increase the red pigment in his tail. By the way this is my first post and i just wanted to say hi. i have a 55 gal corner tank with 3 tinfoil barbs 4"-6", 4 clown loaches all about 4 inches long, a 6 in. clwon knife fish, a 5 in polypterus senegalus, a 5 in. striped catfish, a 5 in silver dollar, 3 4 in. filamentosa barbs, a 4 in red parrot, and a 4 in. blue acara
