Do You Get Frustrated By a Monster Fish That Grows Too Slow?

[Taker]

Months have passed it is still that little baby fish you feed every day making you feel pointless.

Have you gotten frustrated? I bought a baby Striped Snakehead at 3 inches in length. It's not even a month yet he is already 5 inches. As a full month is coming close he is exceeding that length. He's like a machine with a beastly attitude.

I can't wait to see how he will be once big. I feel a monster fish that grows fast to be more purposeful than a fish I feed daily, gets fat but remains at about the same length for months to come.

I dont have a prob with waiting if a fish cooperates with feeding (read: pellet or frozen food training).. i raised almost all of my fishes from 3-4" babies

When it comes to growth, I don't mind slow growth. I'm just not in a hurry. I keep fish for my own amusement/satisfaction, I'm not hurrying it to grow out to sell it to make a profit. A healthy fish is my main priority, not growth rate, not max size

I started to get frustrated with a group of festae cichlids witch on paper dont seem that long to grow but actually doing it was torture to me. I eventually got some smaller fish for them to bully witch helped

Most fish grow fast as babies lol. Let's talk about your snakeheads growth from month to month next year. Growth is always relative to age and eventual adult size.

I've owned lots of Goldfish over the years but only 1 has made it past 6-7 inches. All the rest seem to stop after the first year.

My last(and current) pleco was growing real slow. It's only been this last year that he picked up on growing. I got him in 2010 at 2-3 inches. A year ago he was only 7 inches. I just taped measured him yesterday at 12 inches. He's an L001

I had a Niger Cat that grew too fast. In 18 months he went from 3 inches to 23 inches.
