Cuckoo syno growth rate

Post by bigamefish »

Hello everybody I am new to the forum so if I do anything wrong that's prob why! Anyway
I have a cute little cuckoo cat and I was curious about growth rate he is 100 days old and about 1.5 inches long so if anybody could help me that would be great!

It depends on several things. Water temperature, feeding and water quality have a lot to do with growth rate. My first batch of cuckoos grew very quickly to about 2 inches within 3 months & within a year they were about 4.5 inches. At that time I did twice weekly water changes & fed heavily. I've got several younger synos that have grown about half as fast because I don't feed as heavily as I used to and my temperature is lower than it used to be. I have given a friend of mine several over the years & they grow extremely fast. Within 3 months they are about 2.5-3 inches. He has a heated fish room & feeds every day.
