got him/her a few days ago from a guy in town. he had him in a 220g with some dither fish. he claims he is 1.5 - 2 years old. The fahaka is only about 7inches long, is this normal? i thought thefahakas got big, fast or am i wrong? what is the deal? I am worried that he is bored, he looks it. any tips?

thanks.

Depends on what he was being fed & how clean the water was kept.

what size tank do you have him in now? the only thing you can really do is keep water pristine, nice healthy varied diet with vitamins to soak the food in and hope stunting didnt take effect even though he was in a more than suitable tank(gallon and dimension wise).

all information on feeding is provided in articled linked above. enjoy :)

Sounds like he maybe stunted, mine is about 6-8 months old nad is already 7inchs long.

Like said above keep water clean, good food and he may keep growing for you
