Dovii growth underwhelming

I also agree with the water changes I rescued an Id shark he's in a 120 for the moment but he's grown about 9 to 10 inches since I got him. I do atleast 50% water changes a week
Agree with the others, with one additional caveat. Understand that large, massive water changes all in one shot, may not be safe with your tap water, and your fish. Lots of things need to be considered before one begins doing massive water changes.
In my tanks, with my fish, my biofiltration, my tank parameters, my tap water, and my water conditioner - I can personally get away with that, year round.
You on the other hand might not.
When it comes to water changes, one size does not fit all.

Aree with RD,
I find it easier to do a 30%-40% water change every other day than one large once per week.
And if your water heater doesn´t have capacity tomaintain stable temp, that can be problematic-
In winterr mylakeMichigan sourced water could dropinto the 40sF, a 40% water change was all mine could handle without dropping in winter.
But I also believe genetics are often blamed for shoddy fish keeping practices, such as wimpy water changes, and high nitrate (anything abovd 5ppm).
