My albino senegal is about 3.5 to 4 inches long. It is at least a year old. It will be a year that I have owned him on March first, and he has only grown a half an inch to an inch longer. He normally eats carnivore pellets and shrimp. I used to also feed him red worms. A couple of crickets. On a few occasions he ate a zebra danio. Only odd thing I can think of is that he sometimes has trouble swallowing foods like pellets(even when broken). So I feed him more shrimp/worms(in the past) than the other bichir
My normal bichir grew from about 3 inches to 8 inches in a third of that time. They were both raised in the same 20 L(not at the same time though). The normal was moved to a 75 gal when he reached about 6 inches+. I've tried to move the albino to the 75, but the normal attacked him right away. Since he is so small, I don't see the point in buying the albino his own bigger aquarium.
Does anyone have any idea why my albino senegal won't grow? His size doesn't bother me, but I worry that it could be health related(stunting, etc).
