Datnoid Growth Rate?

[Druu]

Let's say a nice guy from Cali is shipping me a two inch indo dat that arrives later this week.. It will be fed cichlid pellets, sinking shrimp pellets, and chunks of pollack fillet. Assuming that water parameters are right, what kind of growth can I expect from him? Thanks.

They basically have the same growth rate of a RTC or maybe it was clown loaches...lol

it depends on how you rotate the diets and how many times in a day you fed 'em, more rotation will fulfill the nutrition, the more you fed 'em in a day will increase the body thickness and growth.. in my case, 2" indo dats will grow twice its size in about 1½ years or so.. i fed 'em 3 times daily, live food, blood worm, and some TetraBits for variation

@JD_MAN

as far as i know, RTC growth rate is far more rapid than Dats, but i agree if Dats almost have the same growth rate as Clown loach
