Growth rate of Ornates ?

[Weylin]

Does anyone know what's the growth rate of ornates ? And can i keep 2 together without any aggression ?

Ornates aren't very aggressive, so you can keep 2 together no problem. But, it also depends on the attitude of the ornates you get and your tank size.
Mean fish + small tank = BAD

From my experience, polys aren't very fast growers. I'd expect .5" a month, but once it hits 7", it may grow about an inch a month. Once it hits 14-20" it will slow down.

yeah depends on the individual fish. generally its no problem.

juvy can grow very fast. once its past 12", growth will slow down somewhat. by the time it reaches 16"-18", its growth would have slowed by a lot.
