I already posted about this in the native fish section, but I've reduced the size of the pics.
These are from today. Please note the tail hanging out of the RTC mouth. That's an 8" large mouth bass I caught today, hoping to give my other bass a buddy. Instead, my RTC got a meal.
He's about 14-15" long now, at about a year old. He just ate my 4 year old Pleco a few weeks ago, but he leaves two green sunfish alone, even though they are much smaller than the bass.
The tiger shovelnose is a little older, and maybe an inch longer, but not near as big a pig.
I had to move him to get one pic. These two cats like to sit next to each other, unless it's feeding time. The RTC will eat from my hand, be it live or dead feeders, frozen shrimp, as well as sinking and floating pellets and algae discs. The only thing he barfs up are crawfish claws.

Its just that most people power feed the crap out of their RTC's trying to grow a 3 footer in a year. Not only is his RTC beautifully colored and healthy looking he'll probably live longer too.
