6inch male Green Terror

[jk41589]

my GT grew to about 2.5" in almost 3 mos. dang!!

mine was like 2.5" when i bought them, now it was like 5". it's growth kind'a suck. But i love it's coloring.

Maybe give your GT a chance, they are a majestic sight to behold anyway.

Mine is over a year old, he's around 6 inches I think. he's grown very slowly, although he looks great.

Fish growth is a function of temperature, water quality, food quality, and food abundance. Feed him more, keep him clean (weekly water changes!), and he will keep growing.

In my experience, GTs bulk out more then lengthen, as they get older. Growth isn't always about length.

if you really want to keep it get a bigger tank just for it

 

[nomadofthehills]

A bigger tank does not facilitate larger growth.

 

[le patron]

thats not what i said. i know the fish will grow more and he says he wants to keep it in his 30g. i said if he really wants to keep it get a bigger tank.

could you point in the direction where I said that bigger tanks facilitate larger growth?
