If you're going to make a thread and update it then.. What do you feed, filtration, waterchanges, tank size, tank mates..?

-He is in a 10 gallon tank
-temp 82,
-royal pleco as tank mate

Thanks for the compliment,

Yea I guess it's because of the close up shot that makes him bigger than 2.5". Take a look at the heater next to him and its suction cup that's a 50watts small heater

did u say 10 gallon? u got to move this sucker to something bigger. if not, its gonna stun his growth. nice fish tho.... good luck

bigger tank = faster growth regardless of how often you do waterchanges IMO. But you seem to know what you're doing. I personally wouldn't keep that fish in anything less than a 30gallon, even at that size. If you want quick growth try and do waterchanges as often as you can. When I am growing fish out I do 20% waterchanges every day and big ones on the weekends.
