Duncan growth

[thecichlidpleco]

I have had two heads of duncans since the end of march, I am just now seeing two buds perk up. The guy I bought them from told me that he got 11 buds in 3 months. I have kept them in low light(216 watts of T5) with a moderate amount of flow. I have moved them out to better ligthing. What has been the average amount of growth with these guys.

I had some that started out as 5 polyps and in about a year made it to ~50. They like a bit of flow - lighting doesn't seem to important though. Try spot feeding some arctipods or mysids to them, that really helps.

I have been feeding direct mysis about 3x week and hopefully the new placement will induce more growth. Any pics of placement?
