Hey guys,

I usually buy baby aro's and grow them out to 12+ inches, sell them, and repeat the process. This has been done for about 8 aros already. This process usually takes me a year for silvers and almost a year and a half for jardinis.

My most recent aro purchase was a 3" jardini, and after 8 or so months, he has only grown to about 4.5". He seems healthy, always eating til his stomach bulges, perfect fins, and never seeing any problems. I feed him frozen blood worms, as well as hikari sticks. He is housed in a 150g tank, so size should be sufficient. I don't mind having a small aro since I like to grow the babies out, but was wondering if anyone else had ever run into this situation?

Thanks all,
J
 
i have a banjar that dont grow,the certificate date is 10th march 2007 and its only 6"
 
ha, a runt maybe? could be a natural disorder

i had a green terror that absolutely would not get bigger than 4 inches no matter what.

i would assume you saty on top of things being that you raise aros... but how are you with water changes?
