Lee, can you give us a quick run down of how quickly (with good environment and nutrition) we can expect our fish to grow? Obviously there are a lot of fish out there but it would be really great if you can give a general break down of the major groups and their potential growth rates. For example, under puffers, Arothron & Diodon you can expect to grow 2"-3" a year until 12" at which point the growth rate slows, while Canthigaster are much slower growing, maybe an 1/2" a year until they hit maximum. (I'm just making this up but just trying to clarify what I am attempting to ask of you). Maybe even break it down high up in the tree, like Tangs, Butterflys, Puffers, etc. And then if someone had a specific species they could ask you in this thread? I think many people would be well served by this info, especially those in the hobby that are just starting out and are under false impressions of growth rates and what they can expect, so hopefully they can re-think the "I'll upgrade when he gets too big" strategy that seems to be a major downfall in this hobby,
Thanks Lee!
Thanks Lee!
