This guy has been through a lot he had internal parasite and didn't eat for a while and I was able to get it back into good shape now he's thriving and full of character
He's a litttle pig and one of my favorites

Thanks i thought he was a goner to be honest, he didn't eat for like a month and had a sunken belly for the longest. One day he just started accepting bloodworms and once I saw him eating pellets I was very happy. Now he greets me and follows me begging for food. He has bulked up and colors came out but doesn't seem to grow much you think he got stunted?

Sajica are super slow growers for the size they get. Pretty sure I got mine around the same time as you at the same size and mine isn't a whole lot bigger. But ya these guys are huge pigs.
 
I'm growing out 8 fry in a 55 right now. I really enjoy mine. As soon as I come into the room they all swarm the top right corner waiting for food. THe largest one is just a little over an inch right now but he's already showing sajica coloration. I'm thinking I may have to separate the smallest 4 as I'm not seeing as much growth in them. Will give it a few more weeks
