i bought 3 ebjd about a month ago. when i got them they were all around 1.5 inches. i heard that they grow very slow. but mine have been growing quite fast. the biggest one is a monster and one of the best ebjds i ever seen. no lie he is about 3.5 inches. i have no clue how he grew so fast. the other 2 are around 2.5 inches and are just starting to get colorful. the biggest one though is so much more colorful than the other 2. i wish i had a camera so i can show u guys how nice he looks. i just thought that id let u guys know that they dont grow as slow as ppl say they do.
