Hey guys, i've had my ck for 8 months or so and he's either 11 inches or 12 inches. My question is, how much bigger will he get? Dont get me wrong I want him to get bigger, but I dont know if there is anything I can do about that. I feed him feeders two times a week. How big is your ck? And if you guys have any other suggestion for food other then frozen bloodworms and live worms cuz he wouldnt touch them...im all ears.
 
my ck went from 4" to 13" in 4 months. ate ALOT of silversides and thawed shrimp. ive seen some that were 2' long. I just picked up a 15" RCK, and hoping it gets to about 2'.
 
Can reach 4 ft in the wild but usually only 3 in captivity. I have two near 2 ft long. Mine get fed frozen shrimp, massivore pellets, spirulina wafers, turkey hot dogs, and any smaller fish they can fit in their mouth. I wouldnt recommend feeders as they can carry internal parasites that can be passed on to your fish.

I would agree with as well.
 
Hes in my 46g. Where can I get silversides? Why does having more swimming room important for growth? I though it was the water quality that determined growth rate.
