Tristan Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 higher temperate and a varied diet might be feeding them twice a day but what are you feeding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Even mbuna can handle a bit more protein when small and growing. but what I look for in foods for a growth boost is the fat %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

none Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Africans grow rapidly at 26 to 28 degrees. 1cm in three months is a real worry if your water is within that range. I feed my fish under 2cm 4 times a day and fish that size twice a day and I get around 1cm of growth per month (or more) at the size of your fish. Possibly stunted from before you got them. I know you have a big tank and do water changes so that is not the issue. Are the eyes big for their size? If you still have too much current that can also be a cause. (Too hard to get food.) Others argued the point back then but this is exactly what can happen as a result.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yea I get best growth in low current water too. Fish like to swim and thats great and all...... but swimming burns energy that could be instead used to beefcake up! Fullys are pretty chunk fish tho, so they dont grow as long as quickly, but they do tend to put on more mass in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
