Megalodoras uranoscopus growth rate
Posted: 30 Mar 2017, 20:52
Hello,
I may have the opportunity to pick up some juvenile ~5" , and I currently have a 125g tank set up that they would go into. I do have some 6x6 stock tubs as well, and they'll eventually go into a South American biotope tank, likely with some Striped Raphaels, Loricariids, and a Hoplias microlepis. The 125g currently has a 7" Hoplias microlepis on the way, but he has been living with Platydoras sp. for awhile, and has been proven to be relatively nonaggressive.
My question is the growth rate of the megas. I have a 6" Striped Raphael Cat, who has maybe grown 0.5" in my 65g in the past 6 months. How quickly should I expect the Megas to hit 30"? Are they slow growers?
Thank you
