IN MY TANK
Hi Guys

I will yo find out what is the temp to get best results when trying to get a f/gar to grow fastest as possible.

Thanks
 
for fast growth do the following:

Temp: 82F
Water Changes: 50% every day or every other day
Tank size: depends on fish...so let us know how big the fish is.
Food: keep it surrounded by food nearly all times, fathead minnows (or any small minnow) works well.

you can get young of the year fish (usually the specimens you get at 3-4") to 10-12" in a matter of a couple months (often less) this way.--

The fish currently 15cm,got him im 200l, will be getting alot of feeders today, this is becoming a very expensive exercise, any advise on how to get him to eat pallets/hake. Thank you for the reply

Flakes will not happen. We could help you wean him onto non-live meaty foods but we'd need to know his size first. If he's too small you've got to wait for a while.
