when they are small, they grow way faster than one inch a month and it tapers as they get older.
but thats in my experience

sorry for the quality, I don't have any high quality cams here so I rely on my N70's camera

But i thought it was the other way around, they grow faster at juvenile stage and grow slower as they get bigger?

No... Probably more like 6" when they arn't so delicate...less mortality rate...Sonsinator;2320337; said:most of the members here buy their aros at 1.5" or so so 2 years is not that slow, maybe they feed them once a day. I feed mine 3x a day.

I can feed him about 6-9 worms a day.
