BS. And you guys do realize this thread is from 2008, right? I'd have to say the fastest growing fish is the ones in my dad's fishing stories.

Old thread, but for me it was a Niger cat, went from 3inches to 24inches in 13 months.. Had to get rid of him as he was outgrowing my 190 gallon.

Had a friend buy one from the same batch, his always stayed 2-3 inches bigger then mine.

Hey I was just wondering what opinions people had on the fastest growing tank fish. I personally go for the red tail cat and its hybrids. Ive had one for about a month and its already grown 2 inches. So let me know what you think.


I agree with you but i'm going to add Silver Arowana

My fastest grower was easily my first H.Armatus.It grew from three inches to almost a foot in a few short months.The two that I have now don't seem to grow as fast but thats okay.

The bigger one looks to be between six and eight inches,I got him from TaintedGlory and the other is five or six inches which came from Infiniteaquatics back in Sept.It was just under three inches when it came in.

I'd have to say the pacu early on. Mines doubled in size in 3 weeks. From about 2.5 in to 6 if not more. He eats veggie rounds as a primary and earthworms as a treat lol
