do they grow, lol I bought 3 2-4 in ones from petsmart and have been trying to feed them everything, I hardly see them, they are in my grow out with my Dempsey. He doesn't bother them but any tips on what to feed them to "power" grow them or something.
Feeding sun cats
- Thread starter mopani
- Start date
They are not known for fast growth. Perhaps from 3" to 6" in 1-2 years.
If you never see them, that's not normal. They have to come out, rarely, maybe very rarely but they should. If they don't, they are likely stressed - water parameters, lighting, cover, bullying, illness, etc. all play a role.
They are not fussy at all. Once settled in a tank, they will take almost any foods. If they never come out during the day time and/or feeding times, then turn the light off and leave the food for the night. If not eaten, remove in the morning but they should take to it much rather sooner than later.

They are the kind of fish that are often returned to LFSs at 6"-8" size, mostly because people buy them not knowing much about them and they grow slowly in their community tanks and start eating smaller tank mates etc. and/or outgrow their tanks. I see them often as trade-ins/returns. Just keep an eye out for those or call your LFSs every now and then and ask if they got one. I never saw them priced more than $10-$15 on the East coast.
Yea I gotta find me some bigger ones. Thanks y'all
