growth rate?

[sstromerson]

I was wondering about the growth rate of these fish and what conditions would make them grow faster or slower

Red Terror (Festae)
Jack Dempsey
Jaguar
Parachromis friedrichsthalii
Nimbochromis venustus
Orange Pike

festae will likely grow .5"-1"/month til around 9"
jd will grow about .5-.75"/month til around 6 or 7"
jags grow around 1"/month til about 9 or 10"

as for the other i do not know.

water changes and good foods.
it's general but it will work!

i'm sure freddies grow around .5-.75"/month til around 8"

festae will grow fast at first then they grow extremely slow.

Conditions that will make them grow slower are poor water parameters and/or poor feeding. It would be unhealthy for a fish to try and slow down it's growth.

a male jag can grow up to an 3/4inch a month till about 9 inches(a year give or take a month) then it slows to roughly an inch every 3-5 months.

a female jag is relatively the same but up to 6 inches and an inch every 3-6

A male freddie can do an 3/4inch a month till about 7 inches then an inch every 4-5

the sizes depend on diet tank size water perameters etc etc. but that pretty general.

the festae that I kept grew, at most, 0.5" per month up to 6"-8" and then slowed down even more...I'd had them for 3-3.5 years and the male was ~10" and female ~8" when I lost them because of a move.
