In my personal experience, pacu, RTC, Channa micropeltes and buttikoferi cichlid.
Interesting. Can you provide a specific rate,like how many inches per month?

I saw some threads said if the iridescent shark is comfortable, its growth rates can be on apr with RTC. It can grow 1.5-2 inches per month in its first year.

A lot at first but slowed down because of its skittishness getting in the way.

1. Oscar

I think the silver arowana and the redline snakehead are the fastest growing fish imo.

I think the silver arowana and the redline snakehead are the fastest growing fish imo.

I would rank them as #1 and #2 fastest growing.

Charlie went from a tiny baby to 14 inches in the first year or so. He's 20 inches now and he's 7.
