i just picked up a what i believe is a little guy and wanted to know about how fast should he grow? what is your guy's expierence in growth rate? about how much growth per month? And please help me determine sex dont want it to turn out a female like my last GT. i have a big female that i have had for over a year she is 7'' but i got her at around 5'' thinking she was a male...
 
Looks like a male to me...as far as growth rate, that depends on a lot of different things including diet, water quality, tankmates, etc

Nice looking fish, good luck.

thanks... anymore suggestions..... to hekp out it is fed nls cichlid pellets, hikari gold, blood worms, and krill...
 
Sounds like a good rotation to me...I've been doing 35% water changes bi-weekly and my terror's been looking healthy and growing at a nice rate.

Possible male but not certain. My female has all the characteristics of a male....except she lays eggs lOl
my other one did this also she was super aggresive long fins and i come home one day to see her lay eggs... this is the reason im asking..... please everyone share your opinion...
 
GT's are slow growers, try 2-3 20-30 percent water changes a week, it helps the fish grow
 
They seem to growth at a good rate but there are a couple of factors: feeding, water quality, tempature. But I think water quality is always the most important factor.
