leopard ctenopoma growth rate

[angryinsect]

just picked up a group of these guys at 1.5''. just wondering whats their speed of growth, I'm feeding them live baby guppies, cut up red wigglers, and bloodworm atm. I plan on getting them on cut up shrimp, smelt, basa, and scallop when they are large enough. temps are around 82f and they will be getting a 20-30% water change every 2nd day.

Cheers,
Jordan

I've kept them on a few different occasions and found them to be very slow growers but that might have had something to do with the fact that I could only get them to eat mealworms.

they are eating like pigs, i can't belive how much they have scarfed down. hopefully their growth rate matches their appetite

Good for you...and them.I've always liked them and may get some again at some point in the future.
