does anyone know the growth rates of the different species of polys? i know it is on an individual basis but is there a poly that generally grows faster? for instance my ornate is definitely growing faster than my sen...can someone give me a breakdown of each species?
 
in my expierence its kind depends on the individual fish ive had some that really shot up and then slowed and some the grew like snails,like two of my dels were like that the one that grew slow is almost caught up to the other one.
 
i also think it depends on the amount they eat and how comfortable they are in the tank. My ornate used to be the biggest in my tank but because he kept bullying the others I moved him to a smaller tank and then kept shifting him about as I did not have a good place to keep him in. Now they're all back together but he's much smaller then his peers now.

Although I know weeksii and moke are really really really slow growers. =/
