"Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self."

Re: hypan growth rate
I have found the growth rate of all hypancistrus to be painfully slow. I currently keep L46, L340, L400, and L450. And I have had L333s in the past, although those seemed to grow a bit faster than most. Good luck.
Never give up until you have released your unused capacities for service and shared your gift with others. One enkindled spirit can set hundreds on fire.

Re: hypan growth rate
I have not kept 270s or 411s. I have kept the other 2, as well as L046s, L400s, L450s, L340s. As a rough estimate, I would say between 3 and 4 years to reach maturity. Just a rough estimate. Good luck.

Re: hypan growth rate
I ask b/c I recently added a group of L46s.
They are all around 2.1-2.25'' and I was wondering what there age where...assuming all other variables are optimum.

Re: hypan growth rate
My best guess would be that they are close to 3 years old.
