Evening folks.
I have 5 Parachromis Managuens / Jaguars at 1-2".
I feed alot 5 times a day with waterchanges every 3 days and am expecting a good growth on these guys.
How fast should i expect them to grow the first month, second, third, fourth and the fifth?
When should they have a good growth spurt.

Also.
How big does a female Dovii get?
 
You could expect at minimum 1/2" a month at that rate. Mine are on a drip system being fed a couple times a day and they've put on about 3/4" in a month.
 
Female dovii can grow just as big as the males, It is just all case dependent. But on average they grow around 16-18".
 
I got mine at 1" the beggining of this month and in 3 days it'll be a month and he's already a little over 2 inches. It also depends on what size tank you have. I had mine in a 100g by himself, but I just added 3 pictus cats today.
 
I had some frys left over from my previous pair that were 1" and decided to grow them out.I gave 1 to my cousin who had his feeding and water changes were
simialar to yours 3 months later he returned it becuase his tank leaked and it was
close to 5-6" it was almost as big as my male dovii which was way bigger from the
start but caught up really really quick it was ridiculous he was way bigger than
his then his brothers and sisters so I think when it comes down to it I belive
it matters on the condition in which the fish is living in GL I hope they grow quick
for you.
