That's funny to hear. He always grew faster than any other Aro I ever heard of. He grew 2" a month for quite a while, guess he's still going! He's always been a pig and it's weird about the color, he was SO RED, maybe it has to do with this heavy mineral mountain well water. I dunno. He was always bossy too, snapping at everyone that got in his way when it came to food! I handfed him earthworms , got bit a few times too, he'd jump out of the water and grab my hand as far up as he could reach. Try putting on a blonde wig and see how he acts!!!!
