My two cichlids just bred and I was wondering what the growth rate is?

It all depends on feeding and water quilty. I have had my con fry since July and they are now about 1.5" TL...more water changes and feeding, the faster the growth.

hm...water quality is a factor, but moreso a helper than a catalyst. Protien, in other words, a healthy, and if possible, LIVE diet, as well as a large space, with as few complications as possible will help immeasurrably. However, water quality does factor in there, because if you're fish are stressed about the quality of the water they're in, not only will they're color, and activity suffer, but they may not grow to a decent size either.
