I know people say that they grow slow, but i bought a little toy sized one at 3/4 on an inch about 4 or 5 months ago. This guy is is now the 3rd largest fish in my tank. He has blown up. I know he is still tiny at little over 2 inches but he has doubled in size in less than 6 months and I dont see him slowing down at all.

I got mine when he was around 2" and he has grown about a half inch in a year. He has gotten much thicker, and eats like a horse.

They grow super fast until they get about 2" and then they slow way down.he should now grow only about a 1/2 inch a year.I got mine at a little under 2" and have had him for 2 years and he is not quite 3".And i have a buddy that bought one and it was1/2 inch.he has had it for like 6 months and it is like 1.25 inches now.
