He went from about 4 inches to 14 in a two year time frame. He probably grew an inch a month until he hit 12 inches...then it slowed down a lot.

Any info on Paddle Fish. Any variant (if there are) and care for them. I mean, I googled it up and can't seem to find a good link regarding care and maintenance. I think the search bar is busted coz it won't show me any results. so please guys, if you have info, please do share.

Info on feeding would be greatly appriciated. Also, tank space allotment and (if ever) possble tankmates. water parameters and lastly, the oh so popular question of growth rate. haha!

don't worry i may not be a master but i've been taking care of monster fish for more than a decade already. So please, don't bash or anything. Warnings will be fine tho:p

thanks!

I seen the word "PARKER" used on another site to describe a fish that just sits there and usually only moves when it's time to eat. This may help people decide whether they want to buy the fish or not.

In habits, appearance, and evolutionary history, the African Butterfly Fish, Pantodon buchholzi, is one of the most unusual of all aquarium species. Yet despite having been in the trade for over 100 years, this “freshwater flying fish” (a misnomer, see below) gets little attention. Captive breeding is challenging but possible, and its fantastic hunting behaviors are thrilling to observe. I helped to set up an African Butterfly Fish exhibit at the Bronx Zoo, and was not at all surprised when it became a great favorite. Most of the visitors I spoke with were astonished to learn that such an “exotic” creature, worthy of a large zoo exhibit, was available at many pet stores! Read article here http://bit.ly/12waqa4
