Growth Rates for Dempsey, Salvini, Nic

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have all of them as juvies now ex the nic.My old group took 1 yr for full size and another year to bulk up,it seems like with fish there is that two stages of growth. some take even longer but with your group thats how it worked with me.
 
My female JD is just about done growing at 7" and it took her around a year and a half

The salvini and FM I've had seem to grow a bit faster. For best results do a LOT of water changes, and mix up their choices of food. My juvie FM grew almost 3/4 inch last month!

Good luck!

:iagree: although i have not seen all of the fish listed grow up from juvies, the ones i have is just like hes put it.
 
slow
faster but slow
normal so around a year to full size males grow larger and slower
kind of fast
and faster the jackdempsy but slow
 
unlass my JD is a shortened version he is taking longer to grow full size. he's about 1 1/2 years old and only about 5". but FM's grow at a decent rate. i have 4. 1 is about 4 months and is already 3". got him as a juvi. so i guess it depends on space and food.
 
Whats the max size (tail included) these fish can achieve?
 
i have heard that JD males can reach 10" or more and female about 8" im not 100% sure but i believe that is right
