oh ok cause i have a male and female that breed like crazy do they ever stop breeding?

If your pair is constantly breeding, that will slow down their growth rate quite a bit. I finally separated my pair and my male's growth shot up since he finally stopped worrying about babies and flirting.

They do grow quite slow, I got my male in 6/07 at 1.5" and he is only 4.5" now.
