growth rate for endli's

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
King-eL pointed out to me that it varies not just between individuals, but also varies between different stages in life.

Young endli will grow fast, but eventually their growth slows, and they may hit growth spurts, but eventually its slow growth until they hit their adult size.

I'm working on a progression thread for an endli of mine, and already I have recorded 1" of growth against a ruler, after 1 week!

Now that I have more baby endli, I will track each one to see what variation I can record in growth speed, and come up with a mean measurement.
 
Endlis growth rate depend on the individuals, tank size, water quality and diet. Some may grow faster than others and some may stay behind. I'm currently doing an experment on 15 endli that I'm keeping right now. All of them are sibling and I bought the at 4" and each are being keep in a 55g by themselves. Each also have different deit and that's the only food that they will eat till they reach 1 year old. I will post them in a new tread once this experment is done. 4 more months to go and they will be 1 year old.
 
Curious are you seeing much variation after 8 months? And I assume one of them is getting weather loaches?

Yep you are right. Big difference on every diet. You'll be surprise once I start a tread about this.
