It depends on there feeding frequency and water quality. But at 1 inch they can be 7-10 inches in a year.
More like 12 inches in a year.................There like bass on Roids....No joke.
cheers boys i got monos witch are bout 35 cm from 1 half inch in 10 months so just wondering how long till i could mix them toghther.. not shaw on the size of the tems yet tho so ill just have to wait n see
super fast growers.....should grow an easy 1-2" a month if water quality is good. Def not a bass for the novice cichla keeper. They need monster tanks....id say 1000+g.....to where most others could stay in a 180+ for a good few years depending on stocking. Tems are beasts of the cichla world.`
thanks for the info guys
WHAT?!?!?
Have you ever owned a Cichla? If so, could you tell me which cichla grows to 7-10 inches in the first year? All the cichla I grew reached 12-15'' in the first year. Tems being the faster growers of the cichla that are available, If kept properly, expect 12-16'' the first year. After the first year, expect .5'' per months.
Ok, so fact I bought my tem at 3 inches. I have had him 11 months he is now 18 inches. he did reside in a 600 gallon for the last 7 months with huge amounts of foods.
