ITs or NTTS

My LFS has 2 different sized NTT's right now. They have a 3" for $55 and a 4-5" for $65. The price is reflecting a 1 specimen buy though, so in other words if they bought more it would be cheaper.DiscusManiac11;4044007; said:
Either way to me it's an awesome deal and if I was near you wouldn't get the chance to buy them

hahaha sorry man just picked them up.
They look awesome. The LFS was feeding them rosey reds, but i'll have them on Market Shrimp and pellets in no time.

Yea haha. I was wondering if the NTT has a quicker growth rates than ITs? I have them in a 55, and just need to know when to go buy a 125. I was going to buy one in August is this too late?
No they don't have a faster growth rate but they should reach a good 6" about the same time as it takes IT's. People say that they rarely see an NTT get over 12" but they can surpass that. I remember seeing one on here that was 15".
If you power feed these guys they should reach about 8" in the first year. After that it's about a inch a year but I hear some people have grew them to 12" in 2 years(IT's and ST's ofcourse) but you'd have to gut load them daily on a good pellet like massivore.

Alright thanks. I know I can count on you for advice regarding dats haha. Well is my plan for a 125 in August/September timeframe ok? Yea I have my ITs eating carnivore mixed w/ market shrimp and my NTT eats a little bit of that, but mostly shrimp.
Oh sorry I meant to answer that
.
Yes you will be fine. Can even put it off a little bit if need be.
Yeah when I feed shrimp they all go balistic on it. When I feed the bloodworms I usually do it by hand, they ram my hand really hard accidently. They have a really hard jab.
