Got a 3" RTC for $2 today at local petco. It was a rescue. $2 not bad though

Great deal! Just be aware it will need a 300 gallon system to make it to it's 4 foot full size.

It will need much larger than that, think a 1000 gallon pond. These guys get massive very quickly. What size tank is he in now and what do you have for upgrades? That is a great price for h I'm though

My LFS has one in a 6ft or 8ft tank I think, probably still needs more room even though it is by itself. The fish is just huge.

Once he exceeds any tank in my house. He will be going to the Denver Aquarium. So it will always have a great life.

Don't blink, he will be a foot before you know it! Lol I've never been to the Denver aquarium but at the national aquarium here in Baltimore they have one that is 4 feet and probably a good 40-50 lbs. thing is massive. It is in a big amazon setup like you mentioned. Good luck with the cat

My brother lives in Boston and has been there, he says it was pretty awesome. Definitely come to the national aquarium, they have some really nice exhibits.

Have you actually contacted the aquarium, rarely if ever a public aquarium will take in a rescue? I know quite a few biologist that work in public aquariums throughout the country and not a single one will accept donations.

I love the boston aquarium. I visit it at least once a month.
