Hey, just wanted to see what's the fastest you've ever seen cichlids grow? I have my 2 oscars, I got them when they were 2 inches. They are now pushin' five inches. My GT I got when he was 1.5 inches he is now 2.75. My JD was 3 when I got him he is now 4.25. I feed them 2 or 3 times a day. I feed them 2 dozen rosies every week, Their on Shrimp pellets, Oscar Grow, and Hikari Cichlid Gold pellets. They also get crickets and blood worms every once in a while. They grew this much in SIX WEEKS! What's the fastest you've seen cichlids grow grow?
Cichlids growing like weeds

Oscars do grow like weeds! It sounds like you have all your fish on a balanced diet, I would suggest feeding a little bit of veggie-matter in there as well. HBH make a moist spirulina pellet that I have heard is very good. Beware of parasites from the rosies. Internal parasites are bunk! Keep up the good work
the fastest growing chiclid i have seen is one of my cuban(nandopsis tetracanthus)
he has out grown my 7" GT
he has out grown my 7" GT
Well, my male festae has gone from roughly 2" to 10" in almost exactly one year. That's a consistent 2/3" a month, which is pretty good for a festae.

my old tank was all monsters, jds, oscars, frontosa, and ten or so 6in zebras, and one male con.
i had all from 1-2 in each and i only fed them chicken and feeders and they were all bigger then any i had seen. they all were about six plus in three months! no lie, i wish i would have eaten more chicken as a kid!
