i know the striper grow slow but do the spotted.
 
The spotted raphs are slightly faster growing than the stripped but your still talking about a VERY slow growing fish when compared to most of the monsters you find on MFK.

After all we have SOME members who shall remain nameless that don't think that a RTC grows fast enough for them.....LOL
 
my stripe and spotted raphial are 2 years old at only 4"
 
quite funny. planetcatfish says spotteds dont grow as large as striped raphs. My striped is definately larger than the spotted. both have slow growth rates but can live 20+ years.
 
My striped is much longer, slimmer, and way more active than my spotted.
I can see my striped eating and swimming around all the time. But I never seen my spotted swim around the tank or eat anything. He just keeps getting fatter and bigger. That picture of his is the only one I have of his full body when I upgraded the tank.
