Growing rate of Hypancistrus zebra offspring

Post by sharko »

I would like to know from breeders the growing rate of Hypancistrus zebra offspring.(if anyone have taken the time to measure them)

(3 months):
6 months:
12 months old:
(18 months old):
24 months:

This is what i have found out so far from 2 sources:
2,5 cm after 6 months.And fully grown and mature after 2 years.(ok what size 9 cm or 12 cm?)

Another said this:
3,5-4 cm after 6 months
5,5 cm after 12 months
6,5-7 cm after 22 months

I have read o lot about this and it is i bit confusing....We don't want them to develop stunned growth...`
Along with bulldog face and with croocked fins they can develop stunned growth...why?

Anybody has any thoughts about this?

What do you mean by stunned growth..? Stunted..?

You mean they can be dwarfs? Do you have any references where I can read more?

This is one

Not dwarf,but not grow in a expected rate or grow to expected size.

Stunted fish is hard to recognize.
