Question for those that got fogo from 2"-4" in size. What has been your experience with growth rate compared to other cichlas?

Curious to see how others compare growth rates of the fogo since it hasent really been talked about.

Mine were 6-8 inches on arrival. 6 months later they're about 12-14. Growth rate typical for any bass. Your water quality and feeding routine will matter the most.
 
Got my two at 8” 14 months ago, one grew quicker than the other to 16” ish eating massivore that was intended for the cat in addition to the floating pellets that the others were eating -

The Fogo is the biggest fish in the tank of 12 cichla, the two tems also 13 months old from 3” are about same TL as bigger fogo, just skinny -

The Tems (from steve) i have seem to grow the fastest
