Anyone else have granulosis grow slow?
Maybe I had a 1 off, but I raised a juvenile fish I picked up around 10 inches, and it got to 12 inches in the span of a year and a half in a 180. I ended up selling it as it was not growing to a size where I could place it with my large fish in a 1100 I had at the time

I don't have much to tell you. We got 3x baby Pterodoras granulosus in 2015 and one, I suppose the female reached 2ft+ in about 3 years, the other two lagging behind badly at 1.5ft, I suppose males and even today 8 years later they are still under 2ft it seems.
We got 3x 6" juveniles Aug 2022 as rescues / donations. Two are good eaters but one has doubled in size, the other some inches behind. The third unexpectedly lies between a couple of rocks and NEVER did I see it come out or even feed, so it's not growing, but not wasting away either.
I had assumed they had consistent growth but it appears maybe not. I felt bad but all my other fish were quickly outgrowing him to where it was no linger safe to continue to keep him, or he would end up as a meal for 1 of them

One of our nigers, the one we rescued from my friend Orlando, refuses to grow at all in the past 2 years, remaining at 2ft.
This input from Wed13 and Rpul explains that some nigers are like that (for us it is a first case out of dozens): https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/ripsaw-catfish.761317/
