nudge Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Went round to a mates the other week, i sold him some of my males from my 1st all male malawi tank. I have some of the same peacocks/haps from my 1st tank in my current tank. I was blown away by the difference in size of my old males compared with the ones i still have. His tank is nearly double mine in litres. It was amazing how much bigger his haps were compared to mine. I know that fish grow bigger faster the more space you give them but these guys almost made mine look like juvies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 feed more, they'll grow faster and they won't be skinny any more either :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 More food+ more waterchanges(Or more volume)=more growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 i feed twice daily with nls and my mate only feeds once a day and using a cheaper food so i put it down to water volume, i was just surprised at how much difference ther was in the size compared to mine.

trinox Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 hehe, crazy when you notice differences like that, i gave my girlfriend a few guppie fry for her little tank at home, at 3 months old my males are getting pretty good colouring and hers are still tiny.
