I was just wondering what the growth rate of a polypterus senegalus is.
 
There's a lot of different variables, but pretty fast up until 4"-5" then they slow down a bit. Wirh the genes in them now a days there's no telling what kind of growth rate you'll get though. Just feed a varied diet, give good tank space, and keep the water clean is really all you can do on your end.
 
What would be the others? ;)

Great now I have to think haha. Well my Tinfoil Barb has to be my favorite. Loved him for the past 10 years and is very personable. Plus is the first pet I ever called my own and raised (yeah I'm only 18 haha) My Green Severum ( RIP ) was awesome. Then I'd say my current Carpintis. His personality is really great and I love the colors. To round out the top 5 is either my Jack Dempsey or Firemouth. The colors on my JD are already amazing but is very very shy and a brutally picky eater lol. Some runner ups are my Pictus catfish and Pink Kissing GouramI (RIP) it didn't love the tinfoil barb but they had a nice life together lol
