Grow rate of a L25 at 3inches ?

[joechua]

Curious to find out what the grow rate of a 3 inches L25, and at what size it will slow down and it grown rate. Anyone know ?

I use to keep those 9" L25 many yrs back and they dun seem growing for 2 yrs or I didnt notice. May start L25 at 3", hopes for your professional advise. Thanks

they are extremely slow growers, mine would gain maybe an inch over a year

Agreed. Mine hasn't grown much in the year that I have had him. He's grown right at an inch or so.

I kind of compare before, L24 grow faster than L25. But I really dun understand, if their grow rate is such slow, how r they going to survive in the wild .... Or because we lack of something, they have in the wild which causes the slow growing

Damn

are L114 pretty close in growth rate?

L114 growth rate is alot of faster, 1 yrs you can see alot of different. So no worries if u are keeping L114

i'd agree with that, 114 do seem to grow a lot faster than L25's, but you're probably still only talking a couple of inches over a year, so still slow compared to commons etc

Yes pseudas grow an average of 1-2 inches per year than even less after they hit the 6 inch mark.

I read an article and they compared two different groups one was kept in a blackwater type inviroment the other was kept in a clear water enviroment and the one that was kept in black water grew a bit faster and bigger then there counterparts. They were all the same size starting off.

Wonder is that mean they grow better in soft water ....
