Cool. If you scroll over those images quickly it looks like it's growing in front of you eyes. You now need to take a weekly picture to keep that going.
I know huh, I thought that was kinda cool. Definitely going to try and keep up on the weekly shots. After this first month of growth I'm optimistic that I'll be able to move him in with my Nile Perch within a year...barring any unfortunate incidents involving him crashing the top or glass the way some others have had happen with theirs...lets just say I have my fingers crossed and I tip toe through that room

may i know what did you force feed it??? seem you got an alpha GATF with fast growth rate compare to mine last time... week 1 till week 4 look the same...
no photoshot right
Nothing really, just feed him how ever much he will eat 6 times a week. He gets a pretty varied diet including Hikari food sticks, carnivore pellets, shrimp pellets, freezedried krill and chunks of MP. 30% water change a week. No aggro tankmates. Lowlight tank with a 100% cover of duckweed.
He mostly put on weight the first 2 weeks. Once he filled out he started to grow in length the next 2 weeks. If you compare the fishes caudal fin to each consecutive pic in week 2, 3 and 4 you'll see that the tail actually looks smaller or thinner because of the way I cropped the pic. Obviously the tail should appear larger each week, if I had cropped it so the tail appears longer and thicker in each pic the body would look proportionatly larger each week then it does now.
It's not really meant to be exact though, just thought it would be cool to show some relative growth pics to get an idea of the changes in the fish.
fyi- growth in the first month was a very conservative 1"...in all honesty was probably over an 1 1/2" though
... For the first time their feeding ways payed off
will try and get some 'clear' ones soonBeautiful beast.
