Slowest: oxydoras niger..



Something's is wrong with that. In 18 months mine already grew 20 inches over his original 3 inches when I bought him.
 
fastest: rtc x tsn 2 ft at 6 months old, idk about arapaimas but i would guess crazy fast

slowest: clown loaches, widebar dats, idk what else
 
Fastest: Oscars in my experience.
Slowest: Silver dollars, mine are over a year old and have barely grown at all.
 
From my personal experience Pacu grow at a tremendous rate. I got one at half dollar size and in less than a year he was 16" and ate everything including air lines, air stones, thermometers, uplift tubes, plastic plants, etc!!!!

As for my slowest growing fish I think would be my convicts. Takes forever to fully grow out a con.

from personal experience: silver arowana, for fastest growers...

slow growing...i vote L114 LOL.
my datnoid and convict are also very slow growers. but the datnoids developing loads of personality.
 
obviously stuff like airapaima and RTCs are gonna be the fastest, but of the fish i've owned my senegals have been the fastest growing, got them early october at about 2.5" and now after a little under 2 months they're pushing 5.5-6", slowest grower being my opaline gourami who has grown about 1.5" since july
