Hello again, Ive had my GT ( green terror) for about 5 months now and he hasnt grown to much, along with him in my tank is a jack dempsy, 40 Gallon tank btw. I do regular water changes and feed them a variety of food. He was often beaten up by the jack dempsy having distorted fins the past few weeks hes been fine however. Hes a Gt with orange on his dorsal fins. ANyone know about the growth rate of this fish, or what i can do to help it grow.
Question about my GT

You will find that you will need to separate the GT from the JD to stimulate normal growth as it sounds similar to when a female GT and a male GT are always together and the females growth is stunted due to being chased by the male etc etc. Give it a try with a tank devider for a few months and you will probably see a happier GT. More food and less stress = growth.
This has worked every time!

I would also put them in a larger tank, regardless of their current size. A 40 just doesn't provide the free space I feel they need to establish a safe area for each, maybe with decor that allows line of sight to be broken.
