Wow, is this the 3rd or 4th thread on growth rates of a polypterus.....
All Polys grow differently there is no definitive answer to how fast will they grow it depends on Food,WC Bioload, and believe it or not a slight dependence on Tank size....Uppers usually since many (except the Ornate) grow to 12"-16" max average out at 1"-1.5" per month until they reach 6-8 months of age which at that point slow to about .25"-.50" per month....AVERAGE.....
