Have space, will grow

Growth rates also are dependant on many factors, one of them being space. Quality of food, feeding frequency, stress levels, temperature and frequency of water changes and overall water quality all help to determine the growth rate of fish. Also, lets not forget the individual fish, some do grow faster than others.

Lots of space, good water quality & good healthy food, are 3 factors of fish growth.
