hi,

i was wondering how fast acanthicus adonis grow under normal conditions? and what is their real max size? i have read lots of conflicting data, from 16 inches to 3 feet.



thanks for any info you can provide,
BK

According to Jon Armbruster, all Acanthicus spp. grow to over a meter. Not sure about ther growth rate though.

I have an Acanthicus Hystrix that I purchased last summer. It was 7" SL then and now it is about 9" SL. It is in a 48"x24"x24" tank with a 9" Gibbiceps and various midwater cyprinids. Have you just acquired an Adonis? They seem to be flooding the market all of a sudden... stunning fish though
