[killerfish]

ornates will grow bigger and faster then senegals albino or not

senegals useually don't grow very fast it took mine a year to reach 9'' i got him at 2''-3''

all ornates ive had grow sloooooooooow.
sens grew much faster.

actually
this is what is happening with me: my regular sens are growing quite fast and the albino sens are the slowest and the ornates are growing the fastest
and all polys seem to be really active
i keep them with 4 gars and a red oscar and a GT
and i have also seen my sen fight with my GT---------i was so god damn surprised and as well as shocked it was like brief jaw lock, then my GT gave the sen a hit on the head and my sen went at my GT again then i opened the hood and put some food to disperse the crowd

I got two slowgrowing sen's too. Bought them over a year ago at 3". Now they are between 6-7". When the dinner bell sounds, they are already att the table, so there is no eating problem, but they swin alot. More then all the other bishir. Maybe they don't store so much fat like the others, they burn it. Even my endli has outgrow them on a couple of month, but that's a large growing fish too.

What' GT?

I got my Senegal Bichir from Petsmart. I got it 1" and after a 2 months It got to 5" but it stopped growing.... It's now on its 3rd going to 4th months and still has not grown yet.

What else can I feed it to make it grow faster?
