How fast does it? When will it be aggressive? Mine doesnt even I dip my hand in it wont even nibble on it. How I wish it would be big already. <too impatient

 

[dzjr1188]

how big is he and what size tank you have for him????

 

[Egon]

I got mine at maybe 14" and now it's 20" maybe 6 months. It only eats masivor. It started getting aggressive and re-arranging the tank at about 18"

Its just 4 inches only, and housed in a 35 gallon tank only temporary but I plan to change it to a bigger one when it grows.

Mine has grown from 9" to 20" in 10 months. They seem to become more aggressive at 18". The aggression should inrease after that as it grows larger. They have different personalities and some are meaner than others.

Be thankful that he does not bite your hand.

4" to 12" in lil' over 4 monthes now?...seems to be slowing down since I switched him offa guppies and live blackworms to frozen bloodworms. gonna start adding nightcrawlers to his diet and see if it starts bulking him up again.

Does night crawlers really speed up the growth rate? If yes, please give some examples of night crawlers. thanks
