I got these guys last thursday and they were roughly 3.5" and pretty skinny. i took a couple pics after putting some feeder danios in there after about an hour and they loved them. heres pics of them the first day
The first pic is of the largest one. he is only about 1/4" bigger then the medium and about 1/2" bigger then the smallest. id guess at the size i got it he is about 3.75" and the smallest being right around 3.25"
In this pic the smallest one is actually on the bottom. he caught the least amount of food after the first 2 hours. he just looks the biggest because of the angle of my picture
After about a week there is definitely a noticeable change in growth. they have been on a constant diet of danios and guppies but when my lfs runs out i do have to get rosy reds. Heres some new pics to show how the biggest one is by far the most aggressive and dominant one in the tank. the smallest didnt even catch half as many as the big guy. they ate about 20 feeder guppies ranging from 1/3" to 1" in about 10 mins.
This pic is again of the largest one and the second pic is of the mid sized one. they r both stuffed with guppies
This pic really shows the size difference even after a week of the fish. the biggest on the right smallest in the center and mid sized on the left
This pic is comparing the smallest and biggest of the cudas. you can see just how much more the big guy is eating.
Tank set up is currently a 50gal tank with an emperor 400 biowheel filter, water temp is about 82 degrees, 100gal air pump connected to a air stone strip and about 1400gph worth of circulation.
I know this isnt much but i will be updating this thread to show how quick or slow these guys are growing. my next step is to put them in a 48x24x18 extra wide tank with at least double the amount of circulation and air.
This is my first grow out thread i have made so be nice
i am no pro when it comes to this stuff.
