Caryl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 As I understand it they wreak havoc in the wild and would out-compete natives and other fish for food and possibly destroy plants as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not sure they are any more cold-tolerant than any other Amazonian species, and think it is probably more likely to be a knee-jerk reaction to the situation with bullheads, based on the RTC's size and appearance. TBH I'm actually glad. Not sure how many people there are in NZ with private tanks bigger than mine, but I don't think my tank is big enough....

alexyay Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 We struggle enough with getting people to have tanks big enough for tank-busters like Pacu let alone RTC :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
