Cutie. I saw your post in Knifegill's thread. Hopefully he still has his and will reply.

Mine two are no longer with me. Are you sure yours is not a mucosus http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=1641 ? It is by far and large more likely. Mine were definitely the mucosus as they barely grew since I bought them at about 6".

related thread http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33355&hilit=+mucosus

same Knifegill's thread title but different forum: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32011&hilit=+mucosus

This is one of mine: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=30933&hilit=+malarmo ---- as I said, it turned out to be not a malarmo but a mucosus.
 
It sad Duopalatinus malarmo on the label so im guesing malarmo but to be fair i dont know the differents and the lfs that sold it to me also once sold me 5 silverdollars that turnd out to be pacu so any things posible

I've found that these tend to grow fairly quickly until about 5" and the for some reason after that it basically stops i bought one in june at about 2" and it grew to 5" in about a month and a half since then maybe .2" and they are said to max at 10-12"

I think yours is a mucosus too which max out at 10" TL. Malarmo grow to 2.5 feet TL.
