RB Piranha Growth rate

[Jridge716]

Hey guys, well im from NY and took a road trip to PA to get some nice little 1.5" Red Bellies. I have 5 of them in a 30 gallon, and have my 125 ready for when they grow (Gotta move my Wolf Fish to his new home first ), anyways, I was just wondering what the growth rate was for these little guys? Im feeding them frozen bloodworms 3 times a day to prevent aggression, along with frequent water changes.

What is the average growth rate per month?

Am I overfeeding them?

Thanks in advance for your help !!

an inch or so a month up to 6-7in then slow down.

ya already said they grow pretty quickly. your not over feeding at that size, once they grow i would slow feeding to once a day. At 6 inches I usually feed mine every other day
