Well the quest for an 18" weeksii by year end continues
One month in and 1.5" of growth
First pic is 10.5" at start of jan, second and third are pics today at 12"
I am wishing I set 16" as the goal as 18 will be tough to hit in 12 mons

Wow.....that's a fat weeksii you are raising. Your growth rate put my weeksii growth rate to shame. Are you doing daily wc? Feeding 2x daily?

I am hoping I get the same growth out of this weeksii as I have with my big guy
Feeding is once per day at lights out(I find they eat more in the dark)
WC is 40 percent once per week
Filtration is 2X FX5 and a 2217

Yup the big guy is 22". I am hoping I can grow this new one to 20"+
That would be pretty cool to have two 20"+ weeksii in the same tank

How much do you think the big guy weighs? I just love your huge weeksii and it's hopefully your smaller guy can get to that size.

Dr B it's funny you mention weight as I have often wondered that too. If it wasn't for potential stress I would weigh him in a mesh sling. 2.5 lbs?
