I have 6 green dwarf pikes in a 90 gallon tank and was wondering if anybody new how fast they grow? I have had them for about 5 months and they haven't really grown at all. Are they slow growing? I am thinking they were stunted when I bought them at the lfs. You can usually tell by how big their eyes are compared to the body and mine look okay so far. They are about 2 inches from end to end.
 
Doesn't anyone on this site own any of these little guys? I don't want to keep them if they are stunted!:nilly:
 
Pictures?
 
how big are they now? If they are around 3-4 inches, don't expect much more growth out of those little guys.
 
they may double that size, but thats about it. Nice little pikes though from what I hear and definitely good looking.
 
Mine was about 4" when I gave it away.

Here is a picture of it.
