How fast do maroon Clowns grow?

How quickly will Maroon clowns grow? My Triggers I can actually see growing. My Maroon Clowns appear to be getting larger, but I cannot see them growing. I feed them prepared meats with garlic mixed in it.

depends on a couple of factors. temperature around 80f. food should be mixed, veggie & meat. complete diet is always better. yes, fish can get constipated. i laughed when i first heard it too! of course parameters. seems you have adequate filtering. just be patient, while the clowns max out about 4-5". some of the others you have will outgrow and overcrowd IMO and IME. REEF-ON!!!

i have had a yellow stripe maroon for about 2 years now. i bought him at about 4 inches and he has not grown at all. I think that adult fish caught in the wild and put in captivity stop growing.

It also depends on if he is in charge or not. If he is "running" the tank...he will turn into a female and get bigger and a little bit meaner.

depends on size of tank and feeding.. from my expierience. I bought a tiny baby maroon about a years ago and its now called big red... looks like lolita in my nano but is very healthy.. good luck
