Bigfish do you know how old your 8 and 10'' raph's are?
the 8" is about 6 or 7 years and the 10" is 12+ years
i know that my 6" one is 3 years that is how i guessed the 2 big ones

lol i've had mine for 5 freaking years and he's like 3 inches still!!!!1
put it in a big (55gal+) tank and do a lot of water changes
(50% ones a week) and it will grow a little les slower
 
Very nice. I just got myself I 5-6" one this weekend for 10 bucks. the store I got him from had tiny 2" spotted ones for 10 bucks also. the big guy I got was a bring in. A "tankbuster" ones that it doesn't matter what it is or how big if someone brings it in and they have the room for it it's $14 and I get 25% off with my discount. So I thought I would take one big one over 2 small ones for twice as much.
 
Any pics of big spotted raphs? Mine is about 1.5" and I only see it when I pick up its rock to make sure it's still alive. Good to know i've got 5 years or so before i'll need a bigger tank for it.
 
What really impresses me is how white the stripes are in the first post. Mine are more like the most recently posted pics. The stripes are more a brown or yellowish color. Good pickup, I can't wait until mine get larger.
