Lets discussed about Growth Rate of Polys

[twentyleagues]

My dels were deffinatly the fastest they were up to 8-9" in the first 6 months. I got them at about 2". But then they slowed way down 1 is still about 9 the other 10.

I didn't see the huge growth people talked about on the teugs mine was a slow grower. He's still only about 8-9 now had him since april. magpie got one about the same time and it's around 11 or 12 I'd say, and I think they are siblings at least from the same batch we got them from the same place at the same time.

Similar experience with my sen. They’re such slow growers + reluctant eaters

none of the sens, albino or regular, I've had were never reluctant eaters. They all shot up in size from 2" to about 5" when they slowed down

Yeah, my Teug grew an inch a month.
The Del slowed way down after 8 or so inches.
The Polli grew more girth than length hahaha
The Moke was the slowest for me. But also the shiest eater.

You're the only one, I think owned the slowest growing teug.

looks like upper jaw types (other than the tueg and some of ornates) growing slowly after they reached half of their body length.

Sens are slow growers after 5-6" like stated above. Both my sens are stuck at about 6". I think there are other factors we haven't figured out yet either. I have and always will feed everyother day that may be why mine have grown slower where others with the same type have seen faster growth. Its possible that water quality has something to do with it. I struggled to keep nitrates below 40ppm in the 75 but in the 180 it usually doesn't get above 20ppm atm. But with the 180 only being up since august and most of my polys already at the stall lengths. Lucifer the teug has continued his .5" per month growth though, slow and steady. I am wondering if his growth rate was slowed by him almost always having an injury to heal.
