How long would it take a 3" leichartdi to reach 10"? I'm currently feeding pellets and blood worms daily with weekly waterchange.

I think you meant the guy in post #3 with his armatus. I'm on a budget when it comes to fish.benzjamin13;2555384; said:Dang...high roller
1" a month is pretty slow. I'm going to try what you suggest by start feeding beef heart. Maybe I can get 2" a month by doing this.jlnguyen74;2555580; said:Probably 1" per month, so keep counting!
Do you want to trade? You are a good parent and have excellent experience parenting young ones.
Don't overfeed and force your fish to grow fast. Beef heart is good, but feed it every other day, and no food in the day between feeding day. You may get your aro grow 2" in a month, but he may not last 'til the next monthFishGoneWild;2556431; said:1" a month is pretty slow. I'm going to try what you suggest by start feeding beef heart.

BTW, 1" a month is a good grow rate!
my leichardti took a while to reach 10 inches from 2". about 9 months or so. maybe almost a year. they usually beef, then extend, then beef up, then extend. silvers grow long, then fatten up. leichardti's do both at the same time so to me it takes longer. he's currently 2yrs old (or will be in january) and i had it since he was 2" and now its pushing 22ish.
