At that size they might grow a little quicker to about 3" and then about a .5" per month. My little guys around that size are gaining weight rather quickly but I do water changes every couple of days and feed a varitey of food to them at least 3 times a day. My 5"ers are about a .5" per month if lucky and they eat like hogs. I have been feeding them hugh nite crawlers thinking this will bulk them up but with little growth affects. Festae are slow growers at this size.

Your Festae eats 3 times a day and eats like a hog? What are you feeding if you don't mind me asking? Mine is such a finicky eater but is still growing .5"/month. Will your Festae eat pellets? Mine won't even look at them.
my female, once 4 in. has slowed dramatically, she also doesnt eat a whole lot. my male was purchased at 12in. eats quite abit but doesnt seem to be adding length , just girth
My fiver inchers eat nite crawlers like no tomorrow. They can also eat an endless supply of blood worms. I feed them Krill, pellets, glass schrimp, brine shrimp, you name it and they eat it. They dont care for Bio gold pellets but love cichlid sticks.
