Someone was asking about this a while back so I thought I'd post some pics. Tank is 160g (60Lx28Wx24H), filtered by a big wet/dry sump, diet is Hikari pellets (started on aro sticks, now on massivore) and frozen raw prawn. Grown about 8" in 5 months (1.6" per month average) and has bulked up considerably.

2/11/08 ~6"

Here's a link to my post with other pics of the tank.

Awesome growth rate...it is very similar to my red.

It has turned out very nice...I would expect that growth rate would start to slow now though...My green has slowed down considerably since it hit 20"
 
wow nice green but i wonder, you said it'd grown 1.6" per month, and in 2/11/09 ~6", how come it grow to 14" in 03/31/09, it's just about a month and 20 days, ??? :D

FAIL! I thought the "backwards" dates were going to confuse the yanks and I ended up getting mixed up myself! :ROFL:

That first date should be 2/11/08, perhaps one of the moderators could change it seems how I can't now?
