Growth rate on A Green Aros?

[David R]

I'll separate the aro first till it grows a little bit. That ornate my eat that aro. I used to have a 11" palmas polli and ate a 9" silver arowana. I just notive that the silver aro was gone and the palmas polli is so fat that it can't even touch his pectoral on the substrates. Another case happened to a friend of mine. A 13" ornate ate a 8" jardini. They were together for 2 months and he was shock when the ornate decided to eat the jar during light off.

He obviously didn't feed the bichirs enough then. My ornate is 16"+ (conservative estimate, I had it when people over-estimate sizes) and the aro was about 6" when I put it in there. I wasn't worried because the aro wasn't the smallest of slowest fish in the tank, if the ornate was hungry he would eat the cichlids that rest on the bottom at night. Which did happen when I went away over xmas and left the tank for 7 days with no food, he picked off the smallest heckelii.

My asian har grown 7" in a year. But my silver has grown 15" in 6 month

For the first 12-14 months, they grow at the rate 1"-1.5" per month. When they hit the 14" mark, they grow much slower, like 0.5" per month.

idk the rate but my uncle got his green at 2~3 inch like 1 year later its 14~15 inch

Do the math! 14~15 inches minus 2~3 inches equals 12 inches/12 months equals 1 in/month

mines grown roughtly 1inch a month for the last few months.... now its probably almost 14" .... growth has slowed down over the last few weeks.... in dec both my aro and gar were around 12-13" .. a few mm seperating their lengths. Last night my green is aroun 14" while the gar is now 16" .. big diff over a period of a few weeks.. but i gutload my fish .. i like em big

my uncles green grows like 1 inch a year now i think lol or 2 a year, his green is 1 years and few months old, its 16? inch i think idk lol but close estimate too that

Mine has grown probably closer to 2" per month on a diet of hikari and shrimp, but then again its not in a "grow out" tank. Big tank + good food + big water changes = big fish.

Bichirs are well feed with prawn, weather loaches and hikari massivore pellets.
