what is the growth rate on these i want to know how big they will be at 1 year old 2 years old 3 years old and 4 years old

[ccampbell57]

They grow very fast. Mine went from 2.5" to 10" in just over 4 years.

[cory6776]

ok thx is it a rate that never changes or is it like he grows a lot in the first year and slows down after that

[ccampbell57]

The growth never changes. He is getting bigger ever week.

The growth does change depending on tank size/ water changes.

In a smaller tank growth will be slower, rarely can anyone grow a large angel to its potential size in captivity.

If I remember correctly fish release hormones into the water which if present will slow growth, water changes get rid of these are large volumes dilute them.
