What are some of the best foods/supplements/practices that promote fast growth in fish? What are some you've used and what have your results been? I love the look on peoples faces when they see a fish of mine that was 4 inches last time they came and is now 10 inches!
 
Daily water changes, multiple feedings per day, and live foods will promote fish growth. An increase in water temperature will also help, but in the long run keeping fish at too warm a temperature will decrease the life expectancy of the fish.
 
what fish are we talking about here??? pristine water and high protein foods promote spurt growth. i have a 5 inches silver aro last year that grew up to 24 inches in 14 months.... similarly, i have an oscar that grew up 12 inches in one year from 1 inch size... however, i won't recommend that style because it compromises the life expectancy of fish...
