i have been lookin for these guys for a while now and finally stumbled across sum,i wanted to put them in with my 6 inch aro but they are only 1 inch long.how long would it take these guys to grow 2 5 or 6 inches thanks in advance!:D
 
a long time. lol. i know this isn't helpful but i think they have one of the slowest growth rates. im sure a pbass expert will chime in
 
you got a loooooong time bro, i've had mine since august, they were about 2 inches, now they are like 3 1/2... power feed and all... they grow slow.. your arrow will eat them for sure..
 
to reach 6", id say give them 5-6 months
 
dammm!! back to the drawing board lol they are a nightmare to find!!! thnx for your input all.

i have a 11 inch aro with two 3 inch orinos. everything is good no fights.
 
really!! my aro is feeding on sticks and pellets to! but i would feel pretty bad if my aro was to turn and i lost them, dnt think ive got the heart to put them in???

nah my silver aro has never touched my orinos.
 
Maybe you can set up a grow out tank to raise them in,it's worth looking into if they are so hard to come by.
 
Power Feed and then Power Feed some more, it's your only hope.....Good luck
