How fast do Senegalus grow

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
there is no definite answer of how fast bichirs can grow, each got different gens as one may grow faster than another, but what you should be worrying instead is how big the tank you have for the bichir. A sen can grow up 30 cm in a home tank, though it will take quiet sometime. Have a look at similar topics in this forum.
 
i bought mine at 3" and about 1cm thick. about 2 months later, its 7" and more than 1" thick. both eat as much as my 14" clown ghost knife each lol. 2-3 large silversides a day. i went back to the store i bought them from, and the ones still there were still the same size.
 
ok sweet! mine is soo small im feeding him frozen bloodworms now i tried shrimp but he wont touch it.
 
I've had a few of my senegals grown about a inch a month, but I had one that grew 3in a month. He was really big about a year later. Good luck with your bichir, and remember:
