Female Trimac Growth Rate

[Roger Mcfish]

I know male trimacs grow pretty fast at about an inch a month, but do females grow just as quick?
I know females will not grow as big as males.

Took my male about a year to reach 10" from 2", doing about 40 % water changes every other day, with just the pair, in a 125 gal tank.
during that same period the female hit about 6" from 2"

Yea I had the same results with my male 80% weekly. Just wasn't sure on females.

Under assumption I have a female. I can notice a slight fade of black in top dorsal
