What species has the highest growth rate?

[bettaman]

I know my clown loaches grow pretty slow (right?) What fish grows most rapidly, bala sharks?

 

[DodgeIntrepidV6]

Not sure but from personal experience red pacus grew rapidly.

Dodge, how are those loaches doing?

 

[vfrex]

Well...dorado and brycon grow an inch a week I think. Arapaimas growth an inch a week too I think, although i'd imagine they slow down when they hit 4 feet or so.

 

[bettaman]

I mean fish that can fit in our tanks at home! LOL...

Oscars will do an inch a month. Red devils will range from .5 to 1.5 inches per month. I don't remember growth rates for any other fish.

Channel cats grow pretty fast.

The 4 loaches are doign great betta. Cleaned house with brine shrimp tonight. How big are yours now?

Walking Catfish grow very fast,1 inch to 4 to 5 inches in a month

Pacu's would have to be one of the fastest growing fish that are commonly kept in aquariums.
