My little Gts growth so far

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
beautiful GT, great job with him!!! folks say Jags grow fast but if fed properly really not that fast. can bomb with protein but not good for the fish. Same can be said for JD, Taken my male jag going on 3 years to get to past 12" female even slower getting to 8" she past 3 years.

again that is one beautiful GT you have. :)

Thanks mate I love him, yea I cut right back on the high protein foods 5 or 6 weeks ago after your advice in another thread and switched him onto Thera a 1mm which he absolutely goes nuts for. These days he only gets 2 small feedings of protein pellet per week now.

That's true, but you should have a 10" fish within a year. You'll be lucky to have a 10" fish in 2-3yrs with these. It could be a lot worse. We could have a grammodes which is in the neighborhood of .25" a month.
 
Well after being offered a lovely little femal 2 weeks ago( after not getting the bigger one I wanted) for free I jumped at the chance and dropped her in and within a week I now have wrigglers lol. Probably won't be any good for my boys growth rates but at least I can get some quality back out there as it's getting hard to find nicely coloured ones. Here's some Piccys image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Thought I'd throw up a quick update of the proud dad. Haven't in a while as the female shredded the poor bloke being overprotective of the fry. She ended up laying again and got even crazier and ate all the fry and hammered the male even more. It wasn't worth taking any pics of him like that but now he is almost fully healed up and a great father after taking the girl out and putting her in the qt tank with the bigger female, now receiving a bit of her own medicine lol. Breeding seems to have given my male a growth spirt too and he's looking much more like a dominant fish too so I'm stoked. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
