Beautiful ?
Whats your feeding schedule and tank set up for this guy?
^I've just noticed this thread this morning and those were my questions as well.Impressive looking indo.
Thanks! He’s in a 210 gallon with Polypterus. Filtered with FX6 and a 55 gallon sump! Feed 3-4x a week with carnivore pellets. Occasional earthworms, tilapia, tail-on shrimp and silversides.

So cool how they can grow into such beast! Btw a big fan of your YouTube lol. Really like how you showcase your tanks and fish ?. I got myself a baby indo a few weeks ago and can only dream for it to get to that size. From your experience, what’s the growth rate for the first year? I’d assume they slow down as they get older. Here are some pics of mine from today. He/she is 3 in just like when you got yours!

That’s a beautiful specimen! First year was fairly fast growth for mine. Got to maybe 7”. Water changes are always massive (at least 80%). I fed much more heavily in the first year (3x a day). Thanks for the props on the channel, got new video coming out soon including of this beast.

Sounds good I’ll try to replicate that as much as possible lol. Excited for the video!
