  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah I mean along the lines of saum;) thank you! Any ideas how to get them to grow faster? My jag is 3 and a half my oscars almost 5 inches. There's the a inch a half.

Feed quality is always the first thing, but water changes water changes water changes. I normally do 1-2 water changes a week on my tank, not that I'm running into a nitrate issue but I just like to work on my tank...relaxes me. Anyways, I noticed the more water changes I did on the tank with my Saums the faster they grew...keep in mind that they won't grow as fast as other cichlids in the same tank getting the same treatment. But it did help.
 
3 inches might be pushing it, I've only grown them out at that size in a 55g. But keep up on the water changes and around 3" you might be able to tell male from female.
