Slowest growth of a CK I've ever had. Still a cool knife, but it hasn't grown much since I got it back at the end of November 2024. It might have grown maybe 2"-3". Anyone have a large Albino CK they want to share? Mine is currently about 7"

I got a group of 5 in 2015 around 4”…. After 10 yrs i lost 2 along the way due to over eating. The remaining 3 are 16-20”. Ive found they feed better on sand or bare bottom. As for the growth… IMO there super inbred at this point. Even so 10 yrs ago when i got mine. This would account for the weaker genes and slower growth rates. Mine have pretty much been around the same size now for 3-4yrs. Gained bulk in that time but not much length. They also spent the majority of their life in 450-650g tanks 8’x3,10’x3’,9’x4’ footprints on auto drip to boot. So no stunting or anything in my case either.

I got two albino clown knives around 6”-7” in May of 2023 but one randomly died after few months. So I still have one. It’s probably about 19”-20” now. I haven’t really measured it in recent months. But when I did few months ago, I believe it was around 18” already.

Few months ago (it usually hangs out in the back facing away from me like the last photo, not the best photography subject 🥲)

I remember my first albino clown knife (when they were first available back then) had zero spots.
