yes but arent they much slower growers then the silvers? i could be wrong but wouldnt it take a few years for one to grow from 7 inches to 18 inches? im just going by most of the pics ive seen of jars and they usually around 15 inches.
WE JUST SHIPPED OUR 24 INCH JAR TO THE ZOO IN PUERTO RICO !!!

I don't think.. everything I've seen has said they grow at a similar rate.

I have found that they do grow slower than silvers especially when they are smaller. But I agree that the 125 is too small.

This fish is about 3 years old (going by the previous owners estimate) I have had him for about 10 months. He has grown about 5"-6". He is about 17"- 18" now.

He is nice but he has killed two fish in the last 5 days!! After being so good for so long.:(I am thinking of trading him in for a RTG, Green or a black aro.
