Well, how long have you kept your datnioides?

What size and when did you buy them (is there a certain time of year when small ones are avail)?

We got 8 of ours on march 26th, they were one inch long.
A few days later we got another 8, they were from the same shipment so they were the same size.

Right now we have 15 (one died 'cause he wouldn't eat), and the 2 biggest are around 2 inches long. Most of them are about 1.5 inches long or a tiny bit more.

Actually I just did a water change and counted 16.

My husband says we started with 17 and then one died. I swear to god after the one died I counted 15.

I think he snuck one in there at one point without telling me or something

My roomate swears we started with 16 too.

Oh well *not gonna complain about an extra dat*

So who's had their datnioides for a long time? Has anyone watched them "grow out" or have we all bought them with in the last year (or so)?
