You'd need a much larger tank to obtain those sizes if ever. The largest Netterei I've ever had was 11" and it took 5 years. Nett's have a type of pecking order - they line up largest in the middle down to the smallest on the flanks. You could have 7 Nett's and none are exactly the same size. The largest could be 12" and the smallest ones could be 7-8" on the flanks for many years. And yes some Nett's don't get any bigger than that. You'll have better success at larger growth in larger volumes of water and like Bruner said - overfilter and waterchanges.

Adding one is horrible advice huh. Who advised adding only one? And is three really better than two. The old rule for predator fish is one or five or more. Can two work?sure. Could there be problems?sure. There's always a chance for cannibalism with any more than one fish. Gl with fish growth as most rbp will max out around 7-8". Sure some might reach 11-12" but they're pretty rare. I can tell you he's not gonna reach the size F1 says in a couple months. It takes rbp 2months to reach 1" from egg,they can grow a 1" a month from 1"to 5-7" then they'll slow way down to barely noticeable.
So how old would this hypothetical 10 inch piranha be? Not even 2?
Yeah, huge wall on growth rate after 5-6 inches. Slows down to an inch a year = (

Yes.
Had a couple friends try this with negative results, I know each fish is different, and I thought odd numbers were better?!
I said possibly up to 2 inches in 45 days or so depending on the diet water quality etc, but like I asked u before are u considering TL? Cuz fins grow too. I'm not saying I was on the money, but Atleast that doesn't put his fish in harms way. Just a guess as each fish grow different especially a single rbp
Friends again? I didn't mean to rile u up lol
