RTBS are fairly decent scavengers. They will eat anything that will fit in their mouths, including fish. They also need to be kept singly. They will reach a size of about 4 to 5 inches and get quite beefy.

And they are pretty territorial so I'd watch them if you keep them with any other bottom feeders.
