Nice motas! I have the same strain that I'm trying to grow out. Mine seem to be growing slow. I got them at about 1/2" to 3/4" and they're only about and inch now! Are they slow growers? I must be doing something wrong lol

I grew 8 out together in a 125. i did 30% water changes once to twice a week if i had time. I started feeding them all the staple pellets i had to make sure they werent gonna be picky but i also fed live blackworms 2-3 time a week and that help put the size on fast. also try keeping the temp around 82-83 that will help boost their metabolism and grow a lil faster. I dont like power feeding anymore cause id like my fish to have longer lives lol but i cant help spoiling them when theyre little:)
