[Majinn]

in my 5.5x2.5x2.5 tank, i have 1 9inch Chili red
3 7inch silvers

in my 3foot tank, i have 1 5inch blood red
1 5inch RTG
1 5inch Green

i am planning to add my aros into the 5.5 tank. whats the growth rate? how fast can they grow? how long do i have to wait to comm all of them together? i dont want the chili to beat them up..or to comm them wud be a bad idea..

Silvers grow crazy fast mine is less then a year and its a good 18"

You better start looking for a new tank soon. Those silver aros are going to quickly outgrow that tank of yours.

hmm.. i can only afford a bigger tank after a year i guess..

In a year, with proper care those silver aros are going to be in th 24-25" range. Maybe you can stunt their growth by starving them and never doing any water changes. They'll be sickly, but at least they will fit in the tank, right?

just feed them freeze dried krill every other day that will slow down the growth the most with out starving them while your looking for a bigger tank
