How old is my green terror?

[philipraposo1982]

I have had him for 6 months. Getting close to 5"

When I first got him he was roughly 2" in size with next to no color. How long from hatching would it take for a GT to reach 2".

I realize I will never know his exact age but I can get pretty close if you folks can advise on approximately how long would it take for an avg GT to reach 2 inches from first being hatched?

My guess is that my GT is roughly 10 months old, thoughts?

Sounds like a good guesstimate to me. Unless he was the strong eater in the batch he may be younger, but not much. 9-11 depends on water temp, how well he was fed ext...

sounds good enough to me. As long as I am within a few months that is good with me.

I've wondered that too. I think your guess has to be close.
