I don't know maybe. All fish have growth spurts and things slow down as the age but this is annoying asides from the teug they are all roughly the same size. I noticed for me they hit 12 inches pretty fast. Then slow down hit that 17ish inch wall and really slow down.
What have you experienced ?
Up your feeding bro. When I want to bump up some of my fishes growth I go 2x a day 5 days a week with 2 days off for digestion. Within 3-4 weeks I guarantee you they’ll put on some size. I would mention water but that would be an insult I know you’re on top of your game there haha.
I have started feeding every 3 days and i feed enough that there is some food left in the tank. Then if it is still there the next moning i fish it out if i can. But yeah, mine too just seem to have been stuck at that 14-18 inch range.
Same boat as to growth. I cut back the feeding because I felt the polys were looking like big fat stuffed sausages. I feed smaller amounts every other night and really have not seen any real growth in length just girth. I like the leaner look on the polys rather than the fat look so I have not been feeding as heavily. All the polys seem to look the same. All stuck at about 16-17" range except the endli who is a bit bigger.
Haha never an insult just friendly advice. I'm gonna bump the feeding and wc
We're in the losers club lol
My polys do look lean and mean, not undernourished at all, just 'fit'. When my ansorgii first came to me I was stuffing it with Massivore and it and the endli both looked fat. I hated that about them.
After all this talk now Im motivated to increase feeding and water changes, lol. I know J jaws7777 will keep us updated on the changes to his polys. I cant wait to see if he can get past the slump.

At least you have your polys on a pellet diet too. My pearsei and het eat so much I cant get enough pellets to the bottom. Oh yeah, I put them on a diet too. Girl was getting way too thick so I cut back on them too. I feel like I was feeding too much which also caused me to clean the tank way too much. Part of the idea of the big tank was a little less maintenance.
