Update new cichlids that I have, and help me rank their growth rates from slowest to fastest, please.

that's quite a few fish, you have them in separate tanks?
There are generalizations we can make like oscars grow faster than green terror etc., but the growth rate will depend on a number of factors in reality. Water quality, tank size, diet, dominance, breeding activity, all these can play a role.

Yeah, I have 4 green terror. One is growing larger than the others. They came at the same size from the same store at the same time. Others were at 2-3 inches while this one is already at 5 inches, with a hump and is more colourful than the other 3.

Separate tanks for now, but once the pond is done and once they all grow to decent sizes. I'll probably put them all in the pond and go down to swim with them, who knows?
