Juruense and datnoids

[YT]TGEodUFXz_w[/YT]

i like your tank set up. what size is it?

 

[BenSow]

Its not mine

I would care to guess no more than 2 years if that. Juruense can get quiet large in a year depending on how much you feed them.

 

[BenSow]

2 years? Really? Don't juruense like grow very fast? They grow upto 2'.. What's their growth rate? Datnoids are really slow growers that's why I'm afraid of this combo I'm thinking of doing this for my 6'x4'x3' tank

 

[RedDwarf]

They grow fairly fast, not tiger shovelnose fast though. Your success would greatly depend on the growth rate of your particular dats. Of the 50+ indos I have growing out currently, about 7 aren't growing as fast as the others. From the smallest to the largest in the group, the larger ones are almost twice the size of the smaller ones. And I don't think the streamers on the jururense are going to last very long with the dats in there.

 

[BenSow]

streamers meaning the thing dangling on the juruense's tail?

 

[RedDwarf]

Yep, those are the streamers.

 

[BenSow]

what are they for?
