I have had my GT for about 6 months. It lives in a 75g with my 4 month Oscar, and I am concerned with the size of my GT. They are currently on a mixed food diet which consists of:
Hikari pellets,
earthworms,
flakes,
some jumbo shrimp
My concern is that even though I have had my GT for two months longer than my Oscar that my Oscar is now about 1 inch bigger than my GT. The GT is eating well, as is Oscar (of course), and is very lively, just not so big as the Oscar. When I got the Oscar, it was about 0.5 inches smaller than my GT, but now the tables have turned. How fast do you think Green Terrors should grow on this type of diet? I have had Oscars in the past, so I know that they grow very rapidly, and this being my first GT, I thought they would grow at the same rate...guess I was wrong. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
