Mine, which is about 3 inches now, I'd estimate; is currently in a heavily planted 10 gallon setup to grow into about a 5" inch size to get ready for the 250 gallon.

Densely planted, aquascaped 10 gallon
Large 60% water changes are done about once a week.
Temp 86F
New Life Spectrum every morning, doesn't want to eat at night for some reason.. I think it's 'case of the lights on. Have to find out.

Those high IT #'s in those small tanks is amazing in the early pages of this thread. wow. Interesting some used very high temps to prevent small IT's getting ich. I don't think i ever saw a dat with ich, they must not get ich very easily, i don't think

(4)1.5-2.5" ITS in a 40b with p saulosi. They are currently subject to my first attempt at trying to pellet train fish. When I got them they where eating live black worms and frozen bloodworms, now they get frozen blood worms for a few days then pellets for a few days. They investigate the pellets but haven't caught them eating one yet.
