is 75 Gallon's big enough for 2 African spotted leaf fish and possibly 1 Asian leaf fish??

How fast will they grow in a 75 gal?

That should be a good size tank for them. Should around 5-6 inch for the african and around 4inch for the other.

How fast could 4 grow in a 75 gal....2 of each species..i only have 2 atm and they are African's and i have been feeding them fish fry..i put 60 fry in the tank and within 2 days they were gone not a single one left there only an inch long. what else could i feed them that's a live food..i have tried flakes and other but they wont eat any of it..i love these fish they are awsome.

Maybe full grown in 1.5 to 2 years. I'm guessing.

They grow quite slowly, I think. What all are you feeding them and what is your water change schedule? :)

I'd start giving them a variety of frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp as well. Have you tried pellets? I'd be inclined to do more water changes, that might help with their growth. Someone more experienced might know better though.
