Besides dats what is another slow grower that would be very rewarding to grow up to adult? Got an extra tank and I LOVE the rewarding feeling I get when I grow up a fish that doesn't grow very fast and most people's don't make to adult size.

Hey Chad, a couple come to mind... want just one, or a group of the same fish?

Kissing Gourami
Distichodus
Leporinus
Not sure how fast Discus grow
Same with Uarus

not sure what else...
 
Leporinus really grow slow? Had no idea but yea I am also hoping for something I can find around here lol and I only want one fish. I MIGHT be able to get leporinus but I doubt anything else.

Clown loaches... In my opinion a huge clown loach is one of the most impressive fish there is. They grow painfully slow.
 
^ agreed with above ^

Ive also enjoyed growing out my flagtail....
 
In my personal experience, Lep's do grow slow - but I honestly think you would enjoy a tank with SEVERAL of the above, together.
Some of these would be pretty....... boring ........ if by itself.
For example, a single clown loach on the bottom... Maybe a group of several of the above suggestions - clown loach, lep, etc... a cool, slow growing, community?
 
OR a school of one type - like a school of kissers (your choice of color) would be entertaining and pretty sweet.

Panaques and plenty of other plecos. Some bichirs take a while.
