Mokelembembe growth rate

[libingboy]

Ive seen previous posts that state these have the slowest growth rate. I have 2 3 inchers with a 2-3 inch senegal in a 75 gallon and wonder whether the senegal will eventually view the mokes as food? How long till the mokes hit 6-7 inches?

out of all my polys my moke has been by far the slowest growing

What growth rate have you observed?

I wouldn't worry unless you have some really aggressive sens the size difference won't matter

Mokes grow SUPER! slow.....I had my moke the longer then most of my bichirs, and the ones I got before moke are now 8inch+ and its barely creeping 6-7inch now

honestly mokes do grow slow.

I have 2 Wild Caught ones.

1 is 7" and the other is 10.5"-11"

In that case, would it be a good idea to move them to a 20 gallon tank for now? I cant monitor whether theyre feeding in the 75, due to the presence of the senegalus, a ropefish and a school of giant danios. The 20 gallon has the added benefit of having a school of small swordtails that they can initially snack on. Right now im forced to dump food just before lights out and hope some are left for them.

in my experience my mokes are the slowest growers and wont eat nearly as much as my other polys. but still my favorite polys
