So I was thinking about getting 3 more lapidifers to add to a 55 with the two currently 3" ones I already have. Someone told me their adults were very aggressive with each other. How are yours as far as conspecific aggression goes?

Right now I got 7 all together, biggest about 5" and smallest about 2". Right now the biggest seems the most aggressive towards the second biggest and doesn't seem to bother the younger guys. I think they are like most fish where they would prefer a number of them and maybe when they get older to disperse the aggression.
Beautiful! When did they start putting on color? My 3" are still pretty drab and with the slow growth, I can imagine it will be almost another year before I start seeing color.

Diet plays a big role on growth speed, mine are on spectrum. Also since I transferred them to the 125 they seem to hit a growth spurt.
I am going to move mine from their 20 long to a 75 and hope for a growth spurt as well. They are already on NLS, but have only put on 1" in the 5-6 months I've had them.

These guy are sure slow growers but, if you house them and feed them right they gain some size pretty fast. I think my 2 biggest are about a year and a half old.
Yea i feed nls and market shrimp from time to time
