just wanna know some info on them, how fast do they grow?

how big do they get?

thanks in advance.
 
thanks very much bro, my mom bought four yesterday without me knowing. they 2 are albino. because she said there should be nine fish in my 30G growout. feng shui she said. (asian belief thing) lol.
 
incredibly active and can easily reach 1"+ - need a lot of room to swim
 
I have a pair of 12"+ tinfoils and they are poop machines that eat everything. Fast swimmers that love open water (like balas, flagtails). Occasional jumpers also. Very hardy fish as they grow and will like pretty much any type of food and water.
 
^^ easy to keep alive yes, to maintain not really the more they poop the more u clean haha
 
As close to bullet proof as any fish I know of. They will grow 1 inch a month. Fast swimmers voracious appetites. Have seen some at Toledo zoo in excess of 18 inches. 14 inches beibg the norm. They will outgrow the 30 gallon in about a year or so.
