i own a jardini for almost 4 months now it was about 2.5 inches when i got it, so far it has grow only about an inch so far is normal?
 
i had a jar grow from 1.5" to 14-15" in just over a year. i have him a 125 and fed him a lot when he was smaller.
 
how much do yous feed your jardini. i had mine for about 3 months and he grew from about 3 inches to 6 1/2 in 3 months. roughly about an inch a month

:eek:

Dang, what were you feeding him??? He grew to 14-15in in the 125??? Mine is taking forever to grow...fedding mainly crickets, bloodworms, once in a while feeders
 
try 3 or 4 times a day with beef heart,krill,and hikari arowana food sticks in the first year that's when they grow the most and they tend to slow down after 1 year
 
It seems like hes growing kinda slow for a jardini. Are you also doing frequent water changes? Unclean water can inhibit a fishes growth.
 
its a bit slow for a growth rate of a juvenile aro, usually the growth rate of aro is 1 inch per month, after a year it will grow a bit slower
