Jaws, good idea for a thread. Here is mine, conservative 1.5" on 04/13/17.
My experiance is that grow will be a it slower at this size but then explode when they hit the 3.5" range and can take a bit larger food
Better pics to come

Got some tape ruler shots
When I first got my teugelsi, they were all 4", except for one that was more like 3"
This was a month ago, March 15th
A month later, they have grown to 5" (the smallest one now 4"), which is my usual expectation for good steady growth: 1" per month
For the first week or two I was feeding once every other day. After two weeks, those feedings were not leaving a bulge in their stomachs (they had grown half an inch), so I bumped the feeding up to once or twice a day.
So far all they've eaten are hikari carnivore pellets.
Weekly 80% water changes.

Woh woh I take offense to that. Lol
Nice growth already. Mine was about 9 inches. Looked 9 1/2 last night. Think i got it around april 1st. I havent been able to consistently feed them. Im not big fwn of power feeding but am gonna give it a go. Want him in the big tank asap
The whole thread is interesting but with burbotman, that's smaller than average to find for sale. I'm interested to see how it grows before it hits 4"

This would be the smallest size I have started a Bichir. This is fry size. I feel like everyone else has a head start
. I need to step up my game Love the inspiration from the others in this thread
Too funny, but seriously Calgary does have a good reputation for water. The mountain water is on the hard side and loaded with minerals. No nitrates in the tap water here!
