My ornate is by far the slowest growing fish in my tank. I've had him since feb (so maybe 6-7 months) and he's maybe grown 3" I got him @ 3-4" and he's currently close to 6". My senegals and albino senegals have grown much more than that in 4 months. They were all about the same size when I got them...except the albino. I got the albino @ 1.5" when the ornate was about 4" The albino has nearly caught up with the ornate (pushin' 5".)
What would be the best way to get the ornate to grow a lil' faster? I have 2 senegals, 1 albino, 1 reedfish, 2 silver dollars, and a rainbow shark in the same tank. I hear they'll reach 24", but how long will it take them to reach their full potential?
