Can anyone with alot of Loisellei experience tell me about what the growth rate is? I know you gotta consider different factors but generally what are we looking at?
 
im definitly not an expert, i just got one also(thinking it was a freddy) but someone posted on my thread saying soon it will be a monster so im guessing they grow quickly
 
growth rate depends on quality food, amount of frequent water changes and tank size. also IME ive learned that raising the temps increases their metabolism which will help them grow faster. in a healthy set up mine grew around 1/2" a month give or take
 
depends all on ur feeding, water changes and water chemistry mine usually grow really fast bc i do weekly 40% water changes and good quality feedin
 
AND genes... Genes do play a role in it as well... but yeah mostly the food quality (high protien diets normally evoke greatest growth rates) and frequency of water changes are the key factors. I'd agree that in a good and healthy environment they should grow about a half inch (give or take)/ month
