Hampala macrolepidota aka the Hampala barb or Jungle perch at Fish Story

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
2 year update, doing well, 16", 4 yo, still in 1800 gal, from 5" to 16" in 3.5 years, slow

 
Story of the title fish. Not growing for us, still a bit over a foot, maybe 15 inches. Seems like that for other peers?

 
Yep! Mines two years in the pond now and just around a foot still. Went through the usual “better check I got the right fish” syndrome but there is only dispar and macrolepidota available to me and Color wise you can tell which is which. I have macrolepidota, but SOOOOO slow growing!
 
first update in 3 years
there have been no change it seems, maybe grew an inch or two
upgraded to 4500g
