View Full Version : who said dats are slow growers?
i have had my indo for less than 1 month and has grown 1".
he eats like a pig... con fry, smelt, and raw shrimp.
first pic was taken 1/26/07 at 5".
these pics where taken 2/22/07
please excuse them being dark... had to snap them quick before he moved.
notice his tail is touching and bent on the back of the tank.
went back and brightend one of the pics alittle.....

They grow in spurts under 12 inches. Meaty foods such as shrimp and feeder fish seems to help a lot. The slowdown happens when you hit 11-12. They just get thicker at that point and the growth rate really slows down. Just like 30 something men. :)

I think widebars grow the fastest ive had several microlepis that only grew a little more than 2" a year with lots of good food and very clean water
i too heard someone say once they fed whitebait, shrimp and feeders for one tank of dats.
the other tank was the same apart from feeders this tank grew slower than the feeder and whitebait/prawn tank.
