I have found these idea by searching the net......they said keep the water temp 29-31 degree centigrade.....it helps to improve metabolic rate of fish......and keep feeding various food frequently........your fish will eat lot then.........
What do u think guys?
 
I think that since the average silver aro grows 1 to 1.5" per month there is no "stimulating" needed. There are people who believe that power feeding and excelerated growth can shorten the life span of a fish.

Personally I think it bast to exersise patience and common sence when it comes to f=raising fish
 
the only certainty i what you mention is that heat increases metabolism. It also increases agressivity. It also decreases oxygen content in the water.

A 31º C water, although it won't kill the aros, is only good, imo, for killing parasites and combat some diseases..
 
And alot of frequent water changes too!!!!
 
Studies have shown that animals produce a hormone specially when they HUNT. so if you feed lets say:
beef heart, then shrimp, then a couple of locusts or crickets, some works, beef herat, shrimp. to make sure they get a varied diet AND live food. Some feeder fish.
Depending where youare from, and income, you should just buy hundreds of different types of feeder fish and just chuck it in there.
Then change the water 2 to 3 times a week. Have a massive effective filter
This will make the fish grow fast as hell!

I agree!!!!
 
just keep it at 27-29 i keep it at 28 and i it's il heat it up to 30-31 before tying meds

and regelar water changes, no to much max 40% , or even better every week 20-40% so the water wil be a big shok for stress and adapment to the water
