No, theres never been any algae in the tank. They get fed algae wafers, flakes, bloodworms, brineshrimp, massivore, cichlid pellets and goldfish pellets. Theres lot of competition for food so i think thats why they havent grown much. Im sure if theyre power fed they will grow much quicker.
Nice group you have there.
I bought three that were 2" in November. When they were about 4" I was going to get rid of two of them cause of the constant bullying they were doing to my favorite one. I was too busy the weekend I was going to take them to the LFS and they killed my favorite that Sunday, he was just floating in the current still alive and I had to put him out of his misery. I miss how he'd greet my hand with kisses when I would work in the tank.
Mine is 6-7" now. I don't consider them too slow on the growth charts.
They get more territorial as they get bigger. Good luck with them.
