I love seeing how fast & fat, Bichers grow. You can really see it in the pics. That's cool. Looking good.

today he only had shrimp pellets but depending on the day he can get silver sides, frozen bloodworms, beefheart, krill ,brine shrimp or sinking chiclid pellets. He also gets an earthworm about every two weeks. I normally feed once or twice a day sometimes I miss a day now and again. he almost always gets pellets and during the course of a week he and the fish he shares his tank with will get all of the above at least once , mostly blood worms and brine shrimp lately more silversides as he's gotten bigger.
the rest maybe once or twice a week
the knife also eats cocktail shrimp spike doesn't like those I am pretty shure he dosen't eat the dried bloodworms or flake I give the gouramies and the feeder guppies.
I forgot those mostly he ignores them but about once a month he gets bored and eats the guppies they are qt'd i promise, I am currently trying to color breed my guppies so he may get them more often as some are culled

Very nice sen! You're doing a good job, keep it up and that will be a 12" beast in no time!

Those pics give me grand dreams of my little 3 (maybe 4)-inchers! They have all grown 1/2+" in the 2 weeks that I've had them!

Yep mine is growing quick, getting longer and chunkier. Mine was a return to the LFS so he was pretty grown already (6" or so). There was another one and I'm thinking of going back and getting it if it's still there.

nice looking sen. careful not to let him grow into a fat azz.

Yea, they grow fast. I don't know how long it took, but mine that I got in september is now over 8 inches. He hasn't grown much since reaching the 8 inch mark.

My albino bichir, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be growing much. The petshop had it for two months before me and I've had it for over two months. It is only 4 inches long. It might have grown a half an inch to an inch, while I've had it.

I got my two Sens on Feb 14th at 2 inches. They are now already heading
for 9 inches!!
