no where
while i was gone for 5 days my JDs ( 2 ) where an inch now there already 2 inches and i have them for 3 months is that a good growth rate??? do they grow slower then firemouths?? i now i haavve a male and female JDs so far. so whats the rate for teh JDs growth compared to teh firemouths??
 
JD's don't grow real fast, but when they are juveniles I'd say 1/2 - 3/4 in a month is typical. Once they reach about 5-6 inches I would imagine the growth rate will curb. I have one right now that is about 4- 4 1/2 inches, and he is filling out quicker than I expected. Do you plan on breeding them?
 
i have JD's and FM's. my jack dempsey male grew a hell of alot quicker than my FM but my JD was boss of his tank and the FM wasnt. my jack dempsey grew around 0.75"-1" a month and the FM around 0.25":( my big JD is around 6"pushing 7" and the FM around 3". bought the Fm and the JD around 1"-0.25" 4-5months ago.
