fishguts Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 g'day, can somebody tell me just how big the viejas grow?.....i have a large pair of melanurus (25cm) and a single synspillum (21cm) and several fennestratum 18(cm) but i was very keen to know just how big they can get.... the fennies have doubled in size in about 2 months .......they stuff themselves to the point of looking like they have swallowed a golf ball....if you have kept these beauties and got them up to any sort of size, can you fill me in on there growth rates and potential size.... thanks Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Both my synspilum & black belt hit 25cm pretty quickly & then slowed right down, haven't owned any other Vieja sp but I'm a fan. Someone on here had a fene pushing 40cm IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick069 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 seen plenty of fennies and black belts 40cm+ I guess they would be around 3-4 years old, most slow down at 25-30cm nick!
