Bn Growing Rate

[starscream]

My BNs are not growing..... I have 2 trinidads that I can't stop from growing..... Why aren't they growing is the BNs growing rate slow or something?

I don't know about them being slow growing as my BN babies seem to shoot right up fairly quickly. But I do know it comes down to area that they have. If I have 50 babies in one 4ft tank growing out some will grow pretty quickly while others remain slower. Once I am able to start selling off the bigger ones the slower ones quickly fill the niche and get up to sellable size pretty quickly. Also make sure all of the fish are getting enough food, the bigger ones might be hogging the lions share and chasing the smaller ones off desirable food.

I put enough food for them all I make sure of that. Its a 55 gal tank and they are growing really slow..... Not a single bristle on them..... Not even a stump.
