Rescue 2 FH.
- Thread starter nfored
- Start date
Okay well the good news is upgrading to a 75 gallon even if I have to buy it new is not a prohibitive as upgrading to a 200+. So given the fact that they are about 5" I should have a year to upgrade right? assuming they grow about as fast as a Oscar.
Growth will be dependant on a number of factors, just like any fish.
Having said that I've had FH's go from skinny 2-3" juvies, to thick 10-11" brutes in less than a year. Under ideal conditions, on average, you should expect approx 1" per month in growth until they reach 9-10", at which time the overall growth will start to slow down.

Well I am supposed to get them tomorrow, hopefully I will have some pictures. I am not sure if I should put them in a freshly setup tank after them being in a tank that admittedly suffers from lack of water changes. wouldn't this be stressful on them even if I drip accumulated them? should I put them in my established tank that has been kept up on water changes for the first 24 hours, and then move them to the fresh setup? Kinda like a gradual step into super clean water?
They certainly don't sound like fish that I would be placing into an established set up, unless you don't value the fish in that tank.
An established QT tank is the best way to go.

I believe they have an ignore list here on MFK, if you''re one of the overly sensitive types who finds my comments bringing on fits of angst, feel free to utilize it.
Unlke yourself, at least I took the time to contribute in a positive way to the OP's questions.
