How Quick Do They Grow?

[stonedcamel]

was just wondering how quickly fish grow?

 

[Truck]

depends on species, plecos (large) quite slow, most new worlds a year.

tetras? rams? red tailed black shark?

 

[Truck]

tetras max size in approx a year, rams a year ish, sexable at about 6 months. not sure on RTBS

i work away during the week and have noticed my young female ram is showing her colors better now

 

[Truck]

as they get older, they get deeper colouration, and i find mine looks best when the lights are off.

 

[matchstickman47]

realy depends on what fish and what gender
my female bn is far slower than my dudes

my RTBS is 6 inches now (three years old), its doubtful it will grow any more.

i know the shark will grow to 6 inch, that isnt a problem, just wondered how long wud take
