1" Dat growout "contest"

[JD7.62]

I just scored 5 more and for the best price of all....FREE!! Best of all I got to pick them out of about 40 fish so I got two with splitbars and three with three symmetrical bars, full necklace, and full belts!

So my total now is 15 small ones. I unfortunatly lost the skinniest out of the original batch of 11. I also have two larger Indos.

It's a race between you and ewurm to see who can hoard the most 1" dats!

Im thinking of trading my 12" ornate bichir for 10 more. Should I?

In May Im picking up two 6" Pulchers....Caint wait for that!

Really back on topic, realistically and based on ones ACTUAL experience, with powerfeeding and good ( 30-50% wc every 5-7days) what kind of growth can I expect to get in 6months? A year? Right in the couple weeks Ive had them Ive noticed some good growth leading me to believe that they arent the slow growers (at this size at least) as some make them to be!
