How fast did your Geos grow?

[johnnycoolxx]

I have a tank full of baby geos. I've had them in a 100g for a 3-4 months now. I realize that they're slow growers but I didn't know it would be THIS slow. How fast did your geos grow? Maybe it's because mine are still really young?

I've got all different kinds. I've got 3 of each of these:
Red head tapajos
Daemons
Leucostica
Heckelii
And 1 altifrons. I bought them all at about 1.5" in november and they don't seem to have grown at all. Its really frustrating.

They are slow, but not that slow. Sometimes they grow in spurts, so be patient, and don't look at them too often Are they eating well?

G. sp. 'orange head Tapajos' - 6 months from egg to this (~4")
