Hi,
I have 2 Firemouths 1 of each sex. I have had them about 5/6 months but they are still relatively small and haven't really grown in comparisson to the 2 Albino Convicts I got same time which are now practically fully grown adults. I also remember that my Red Devil grew at an astonishing rate in my other tank and so did my Jacks.
Is it normal for Firemouths to grow in size slowly as it is the first time I have kept these fish? Tank conditions are perfect and I keep a healthy varied diet using Live, Frozen, Flake and pellets etc and just wondering why they seem to take so long to grow to a decent size?
Also regarding the same tank does anyone have any ideas about adding an algae eater to the tank (DO NOT WANT A PLEC) here's the tank details and stock etc:-
100 Imperial Gallons
1 Mature Male Convicts
2 Albino Junior Convicts
2 Junior Jewels
2 Junior Firemouths
1 Adult Angel
1 Junior Pictus
2 Network Catfish
Still looking to add more stock of similar/suitable breeds to the tank.
Thx,
Josh
