MPIMBWE FRONTOSA MAX SIZE?

[jagsandpits]

I HEARD THAT THEYRE SMALLER THEN THE BURUNDI(COMMON) FRONTOSA? I WANNA GET ONE BUT I NEED TO KNOW THE MAX SIZE, AND GROWTH RATE IF POSSIBLE

 

[Oddball]

Don't remember the growth rate but, it was fairly slow. My alpha male hit the 14" mark. Other males stopped at 11-12". Largest female was 8.5-9".

for some reason thought this fish was smeller like under 10

No mpimbwe can grow to the same average size as other frontosa 9-12inch average but can get larger. The growth rate can very it depends on water quality, temp., what/how much you feed. They can go from 1in-4in in a year some can grow a little faster and some grow a little slower, it just depends. Also they do better in colonys.
