clearly aren't very fast growers.. 3 years to go from 5.5" to 13"

yup, but strangely his growth rate has increased from 9-13" .. this was probably due to me transfering him in another tank where he didn't have any competition on pellets as his tankmates all eat frozen foods and leave the pellets alone.. so he gets fed well now :)
 
Impressive kido. Youre collection is beautiful. have to give props to you for taking
the time out to grow out your monster. :hearts:
 
very nice
