What's the growth rate of juruense

I have a 6" one which won't be able to go in my big tank until it gets to 14"
 
In my experience (wherein I've never personally grown either a jur or tig to over 1'), tigs and jurs grow with more or less the same rate.

And tigs are your thing, T1 ;)

After losing my tig I wanted another cat but not just a replacement

I got a 6" juru the other day which will probably take a year before it's ready to go in the big tank
But large juru are near impossible to find
 
Sorry, I was playfully curt. I meant that you know the tig growth better than most of us.

I remember all too well the recent heartbreaking loss of your tig to mussel and that you have been looking to take a shot at a jur now.

I'd think large jurs are as hard to find as large tigs, at least here. How about the UK?
 
Theres very few adult jurs even on youtube theres a nice flash jar ive seen that was large.i think its a great challenge for you after losing your tig to see what comes off it.good luck with him it will be very special to grow one into a large specimen. what do you have it feeding on?

I don't know if he ships to you but John from ECZS brings in big ones every so often. Prices are not bad either.

I have one just got it

I had a 12" one but sold it as wasn't that happy with the stripes and if I'm going to grow one and keep one I have to be 100% happy

I know have a 6" that looks like a tig but much wider stripes

I have only had it 2 days so not sure what it's eating yet
I'm putting a few pellets and krill

I can leave food in over night as it's connected to my main system

See how it goes
 
Well I had a 10" juruense for a few months but it wouldn't eat pellets and I wasn't happy with the stripes

I now have a 6" I have had 3 weeks it loves pellets and has grown over a inch

Going to stick with this one
 
It's in my top tank right now so a bit hard to get pictures as that tank is 7ft up in the air lol
