SRC Member cityofangels Posted August 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2005 I heard they can grow very fast too! The tiny ones can double their size within 1-2weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Earth Posted August 8, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2005 really?? then i better leave it at 2 if they can survive... it looks aggressive too, maybe they will eat up all the smaller fishes when they grow too big...

That's what the guy at the LFS told me. Which is why I didn't buy them. I don't think I can keep up with their fast growth-rates! But their colours are gorgeous, esp when they swim in a school.

SRC Member kelstorm Posted August 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2005 as they grow, they will become predatory.. and yes, they grow very fast and soon, u can have them on ur dinner table.. yes, they are edible...

SRC Member Earth Posted August 8, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yah, agree, the 4 of them were very nice on the 1st day. now left 2 not so nice .... really tempted to add another 2 again but worried about their sizes and their survival. Heard it is quite difficult to keep them, anybody got long surviving Golden trevallys here? Quote 4x1.5x2.3 home tank 6x2x2.3 office tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member djviper Posted August 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2005 they are very fast and mine grew from a 1.5" to a 7" within 4months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member spaceman Posted August 14, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 14, 2005 Heard that this type of fish must live in a group! I bought a small one which didn't last more than a week!! also don't know what happen, it was eating happily! I suspect they might have become fish food for other fishes!!

SRC Member Earth Posted August 15, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2005 To update: I bought another Trevally to join the two leftovers last week. All three eating well with big tummies everyday, and they can really GROW!!! Agree that it is great seeing them swim together...
