Kelberi peacock bass

Growing out a group of 18 kelberis, doing 75% water changes every 2 days tank temp is at 86-87 degrees. Pounding down pellets. How quick do you think these guys will grow?

At this temperature and with frequent water changes, kelp grows quickly—about 2–3 cm per month at a young age. It can grow to 15–18 cm in 5–7 months, after which growth slows down.

i got a group of 20 kels growing out right now as well. kelberis can stay on the smaller side but expect a inch of growth a month with good food and water quality.
