Hey guys,
I have 2 ID Sharks that I've had for about 6 months. When most people hear about this fish they say "those get huge!" but mine aren't. They are in a 220 gallon tank and one is 3 inches the other 4. It seems like they have stopped growing. Do you guys know why this is or what the cause is or do they just grow super slowly?? My Pleco, Angelfish, Fire Eel, and Eclipse Catfish all grow faster than them. Could it be the diet I'm giving them? They get
Hikari Cichlid Pellets
Shrimp Pellets
Frozen Krill
Frozen Bloodworms
Frozen Tubifex Worms
And pieces of shrimp.

They go crazy for Blood Worms, Krill, and Cichlid Pellets. And every night after I feed them they both have fat bellies. Should I feed them something else??

Here they are. How do they look? Stunted? And btw if your wondering what is on my sharks fin it's a piece of net I couldn't get off! I tried but I couldn't hold him still and cut it from around his fin and I didn't want him to die from being out of the water too long.

Give them some time , with a newer bigger tank. They could start on a new growth spurt soon.

I have seen these grow fast within the first year and then go very slow depending on accommodations available .

Give em time and good water , your feeding is good.
