Figure 8 growth rate?

Post by HenryPuffer »

I've had 3 figure 8s together for about a year now but they don't seem to be growing, the biggest one has gotten is 2 inches. I feed them daily and do monthly tank cleanings/water changes. Anyone know how fast they grow?

I've had my figure 8 for a little more than 3years now, has always been alone in a 26gallons tank, 50%water change every week and it is, by eyeball, between 2 and 2 1/2" long.

They don't get a whole lot bigger...maybe 3 inches max that I've seen but I have no idea how old those were.
