Growth of JD?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
how long did yours take to get 6 inches???
 
They don't really grow that fast in my experience, at least when compared to some other species.
 
Mine's followed the same basic rate of growth . . .
 
Mine's been growing in spurts too. Around 5 1/2" now. When I feed earthworms, she pigs out and grows faster cause of all the protein. I fed her anywhere from 1-3 (4") worms a day.... Might wana try that. He/She should put on some mass from eating them for sure.

Do you feed high protein food?

Is it with other fish or maybe being harassed by others? That might have had an effect too.

Good luck
