I'm curious about variance in growth rate for these gorgeous Damba. What growth have members seen during the first year? Any specific recollections of when growth spurts occurred or when growth slowed down for a bit?

Quick update...The first pic below was taken in May shortly after arrival. The rest are very recent pics. Its been approx. six months and they've more than doubled in size from 1.5in to 3.25-4in. Out of the 10, three are significantly darker and about 1/4 larger than the rest of the group. There is a clear hierarchy. They're ravenous eaters, will eat anything and rush to the glass when when anyone is in their line of site. Theyre always in a group, even with the lone Kieneri and clown loaches. They are absolutely gorgeous and fascinating!
