what can i do to make my angel grow faster? ive had him for a few months and he's only 2".he's in a 38gal tank, 36"L x 12"W x 20"H. i feed wardley advanced flakes once a day and he picks at the algae wafers i feed every night. the tank isnt overstocked by any means.

feedings and water changes. I try to feed a mix of flakes and frozen atleast twice a day and do 50% water changes every other day. Most breeders I know feed many times a day and change water every day to make their fry grow into sellable quater size angels. a lot of work but it makes for nice angels.

I feed my angels flake times a day and I feed them little peices of shrimps that I dice up for them once a day do water changes every 3 days mine are getting pretty good sized so far

Feed more. That means you'll have to do more water changes, too. If you can find them, use food with higher protein content. I use golden pearls available in different sizes and contains 60% protein.

Easy, change water everyday, feed with many kinda food

live foods, especially worms will give you the best growth rates. once a day aint going to cut it.

Many and large water changes.... try feeding them frozen beefheart.

frozen beefheart,blood worms,black worms,and brine shrimp along with flakes, big water changes with warm clean dechlornated water.
