how often are you feeding them to achieve maximum growth?
 
Sorry I didn't get around to taking any pics this weekend, moving into a new place and was busy doing that most of the weekend. I'll get some pics up tomorrow night.

Feeding regiment at this time is daily blood worms and any feeder rosies they eat for maximum growth but once they hit the 12" mark I cut feedings down to 2-3 times a week like I do for all my large shovelnose.
 
ah gotcha, i feed my rtc as much as hell eat as often as hell eat it, whenever im home and i walk by the tank and he comes up to the top, like he does when hes hungry i drop some pelletes in, his growth was stunted a little when i moved apartments so hes only about 18in and i got him in june, when he was about an inch, hand fed him from a spoon with blood worms at that age
 
Here are the most recent pics as of Feb 1st. You can clearly see that they have grown about 1" since I bought them initially.
