[Savior19]

how big do they get and how fast do they grow

 

[Danyal]

don't remember how fast they grow but they can hit 20"

 

[ceeej31]

if its a lima sn he will get to about 20"
if its a tiger sn it will get to 5' and grow about 2" a month

nice im thinking about getting a lima

 

[Savior19]

yeah he si preety awsome ...he is lazy during the day but once trhe lights go off he goes wild

they don't grow that fast which is good, cuz anyone who has owned a redtail cat, can verify that it's hard to keep up with a fast growing catfish, if thats a lima the like to school in packs of three

That's definitely a tiger shovelnose. Expect one foot in a year. And eventually three or more- aim for the largest tank/pond possible. And remove any fish much less than half his size unless you don't mind them leaving

 

[Savior19]

its a tiger

What are people talking about?
Thats definatly a tiger shovelnose.
Expect it to get 2 feet within a year. They have a tendancy to smash their faces apart on glass, so they need plenty of room.
Gets 4 feet plus.

i don't know i have never had a tiger grow that fast, but maybe i did something wrong, after it got about a foot it slowed down growing, but thats just my expereince
