ck growth difference

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
no they got along well the small one was just too timid and didnt get his fill before the food was all gone
 
You have to consider it's eating habits as well as its activity level.

For instance, I've talked to people who keep Senegal Bichirs and have noticed little growth in say, half of a year, where in my case with my Senegal, it's almost tripled it's size within the span of 7 months due to heavy eating and healthy water.

There can be many other factors though.
 
Hey Powrisal I see you're in Cincinnati - have you tried feeding your fish any cicadas??? Some people in the aquarium society said they make great fish food!

hey k626 do you have any recent pics of the one in your avatar


The one in my avatar (Hank) sadly passed away a while ago in a tragic accident at around 26 inches. :( I'll post pics of my other one I just sold, he was around 14 inches. And I have a gold now I'm working on growing out who's around 8 inches. I love my knifes.:D

Those two were kept together until I sold the big one. As juveniles, they enjoy the security of each other's company. It's when they get big you got a problem. Although there are accounts of them getting along fine in the same tank if they were purchased together at the same time and in the same tank for the entire time. There was a 6 inch size difference between the two and they got along fine, pretty much stayed out of each other's way. This is my third ck and I'm starting with the pellet training here in a few weeks. Willie just needs a little more size to him before I start that.

Thank you very much for the compliment too. :D
