How is the growth rate on this lil beast? I bought two rio mags fry in the middle of January and I didn't seem to get much growth as expected. They were probably 1.5" at the beginning of feb. One might be a shy under 3" and the other is 2.5" now. Initially I had them both in a 40 gallon breeder with two similar size festae. One was a little aggressive so I put him in the 125 and now he is finally growing. I feed them twice a day with NLS and a bunch of Omega one products. I also do weekly waterchanges on all my tanks.

whicever one is most dominant will eat well and grow the fastest.. And room to grow without stress and hiding in a hole and stressing about mean tank mates.



It depends on how well they eat and the environment they in.
