Haddoni growth rate

[gspyro]

Hello everyone!I would like to know how long it takes, on average, for a small Haddoni to get really big if I feed it about 3 times a week? My goal is to make it grow as quickly as possible. Thanks very much!

They can grow relatively quickly. Just focus on keeping it healthy, over feeding can be harmful to anemones. Make sure you feed it small pieces of food not silversides or similar.

Oh yes, definitely! I'm feeding them with Vitalis for anemone. Three times a week seems to be sufficient. I have 4 Haddonis, one over 16 inches and the others are smaller. One is very small, at 7 inches, and the other two are about 10 inches. Thanks!!!

Assuming all of your haddoni are in the same tank, you may notice that no matter how much you feed., some will remain smaller than others. In the wild, haddoni are typically found by themselves. In my experience with both haddoni and gigantea, one anemone oftentimes takes on a dominant role and will be the largest, while the others vary in size but are not as large as the dominant one.

This may not happen with your haddoni, just something to look out for.
