growth rate of Brachyplatystoma juruense

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i have a tig and want a jur as well... i agree that they are a pretty fish in their own way... and it should be fine with the lima dont' think it would eat it... but it might bully it around just have to watch and give plenty of spots to hide so they don't fight over one... just wish they grew faster than 1 inch a month... i will have to grow mine for a while before i can mix him with the rest of them...

lima and jur are a very good combination, i currently have 4 lima with my jur, my biggest problem is lima are very quick to respond to feeding, while my jur is very cautious when it comes to eating, just make sure you will somewhat over feed to make sure your jur will still get food also a jur will never go to food, they always sit directly facing the water current and wait for food, nor will they go up for food, so you will always need to get something that will sink, also they tend to have very small mouths so large intakes of a smaller food source will always be needed especially for small guys.
 
sorry for the crappy lighting. Woods still leaching some tannin in watter also. Payed 59 for it its aprox 6 to 7 inchs good deal bad deal?
