Whats the fastest growing fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i know there are fish that are faster, but my fastest growers have been oscars and senegal bichirs
 
Ime my J. Transcriptus have been the fastest growing but it's a relative thing since the full grown fish is only 2.5 - 3 inches.
 
Any fish that grows under 2" a month would surely not qualify. Some huge whales and sharks probably have huge growth rates but very few freshwater fish can compete with a Pima.
 
O's, rtc's, ck's, and aro's. Don't know about the tsn, but I'm sure they grow pretty quickly as well. Pima? Good question.

I see your point, but how do you explain pacu then?

Never kept Pacu, so I could be way off here, but aren't they omnivorous? I know that they are primarily herbivorous, but I thought they would eat meat as well.

my rtc is growing about 2" per month and my long nose gar went from 4-5" to 17" in about 8 months
you're the first to mention gar. from what I hear, they grow amazingly fast when small. i bet it only took a couple months or less to reach 12".
