irridecent sharks

Question
I was just wondering, how fast irridecent sharks grow?  And, if having them in a 29 gallon tank at first will stunt there growth?

Answer
Hi Dan;

It really depends on how much you feed them, how often you change their water and how many fish are in the tank with them. They could grow a half inch to an inch in a single month. Once they get 6 to 8 inches they should be moved out of the 29. If left there too long they could injure themselves due to their hyperactivity, as well as stunting them. If they show no signs of growth at some point, get a bigger tank. You'll just have to watch them and see how it goes!
