Brodie-S/A-C Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've recently bought 20 juvie bass @ 5-7 cm (my first real go). One week has past I've noticed that the growth of some has been 1-2 cm. Is this common? They are getting fed very well in a 6x2, temp is at 31 deg (plenty of aeration) Do bass normally slow down at a certain size(if so what length?) or do they only slow down due to tank size limiting their growth? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta-Cray_z Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) tank size really shouldnt limit their growth. only food, tankmates and water quality should do that. of course its all to an extent. agression between the bass will limit growth, so will spawning etc. to be honest i wouldnt go about 28 degrees, i would think it would d o more harm than good.... although i have been told that having the temp below 30 for juvenile peacock bass is a risky business.... being that you run the risk of contracting white spot. either way, each to their own, i would do things differently. water change, water change, water change.

Brodie-S/A-C Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Any other opinions. Really after first hand experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqc247 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 1 - 2 cm in one week - that's nothing to complain about.. at that rate they'll be fully grown in 6 months lol. Like most things, the more often you keep an eye on it, the slower it takes or seems to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie-S/A-C Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not complaining, was shocked. Just wanted to know if it was common that they have massive growth spurts like that when they are fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardCichlid Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Interested as well, wonder what the range of difference in growth rates is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwocky Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 from memory they have 2 major spurts. the should power on up to about 15 cm and then slow down at 20 then go again until 25, had mates that raised bass and their spurts were around the same but not exactly the same. definatly 2 spurts though , hope this helps.
