He's really been bothering me lately. He was my first fish and seems to be doing great. He eats like a pig but just isn't growing fast at all. All these channels on this site are huge! I got mine at 1.5 inches when he was a baby. Now, 7 monthes later, hes like 7 inches. Is this slow growth rate normal. He was in a 29 gallon tank until he was 6 inches, which was like 4.5 months he was in there total. He is now in a 75 and has been in there like 2.5 months, and only grew and inch. Can some one please help me.????:nilly:



so your channel has been in the 75 gallon for 2 months without a water change and you wonder why the growth rate has slowed so much, as opposed to when it was in the 30g with weekly water changes.

I would say the lack of water changes is the culprit.

I dropped my glass lids like an idiot and broke them all over. I have the tank open and had the tank going for three months. Not 1 nitrate. Its a 75g, but it also has two small-medium size amazon swords as plants. The inhabitants are a 7 inch channel cat, a 3 inch Pbass, A royal fallowella and a FW barracuda(Hujeta). Might the open lid have act as a mini denitrator, or what is this? Luck?:nilly:

"Id see it in the plants" Its been two months and no water changes. I tested it litterally 4 times. Tomorrow ill bring it to the LFS and get it tested and I will post it again.
 
Bro, he said he had the mater pr in check and changed the water weekly... why not read everything before attacking him? Why would you just assume that he hadn't changed n e water in a month just because he stated that the fish was in the tank for a montg!?!?!
 
Because that guy follows me to every thread and always trys to catch me in lies and hes so annoying! >:o

Thanks tho :thumbsup:
 
the slower he grows the longer you can keep him:D
