How can you get your fish to grow faster???

[Will Hayward]

Better than waterchanges would be a constant supply of freshwater. A small tank can be run with a dripping faucet and an overflow. A larger tank would need a faster supply of incoming water. I've seen astounding growth, However I question a fish's immune system when they have been kept in sterile environments. They become unacceptable to the slightest amount of ammonia and even Nitrite and Nitrates.

Combine Frequent water changes, with a low stocking density, and quality diet, in an oversized environement, and your fish will grow large, strong and healthy.

You only need wc if your filtration succcks

Sorry, but your normal filters won't remove nitrates. So keep the water changes.

No joke here. I watched my fish grow like weeds anytime they'd been fed asparagus.

from experiences at a store more food equals faster growth (and usually the better looking specimen). i've seen this from when a fish is separated into its own tank and gets more food than when in the tank with the larger group of fish meaning fish get less food (and it's not a water quality difference due to being on a one sump system style filtration per wall)...with that said the store still does weekly water changes so don't skip on those either because the more food leads to more mess.

but as said quick growth isn't usually a good thing in the long run
