Starry Puffer
My Starry Puffer is growing twice as fast as my mappa as well as the rest of my fish. What's the growth rate of these guys?

Re: Starry Puffer
My guess is if a fish is going to grow that large, it's going to get there 2x as fast as a fish that grows 1/2 that size.

Re: Starry Puffer
Makes sense, Im growing him out to 12 inches then I will be giving him to my local Big Al's fish store. Massive display tank with other very large fish. I just wished I was going to have more time with him. But he is a ferocious eater and I might have to part with him sooner than expected.
