Hey MFK's -
how big do Lima shovel nose cats get? How long can it stay in a 75? Do they grow fast like TSN & RTC?

thanks
 
dont know about growth rate but i have seen them over 12 inchs before.
 
from what i have heard (i may be wrong so anyone who can correct me go right on ahead) limas have a pretty slow growth rate and can stay in a 75 gal for up to 1 1/2 years or more (i think)

if anyone has corrections GO RIGHT ON AHEAD correcting me :D

one thing i am sure of is that they can get up to 18" long:D
 
Yeah the caps lock was on, I'm on my work computer and everything has to be done in caps. With the tank 55 is the biggest I have now I'm hoping to move up shortly.
