Rare Convict!

[FuriousFish]

Hello, I just purchased A pretty rare fish!
I had wanted a convict to go with my jewels. So, I got one! But I got a pretty rare mutation!
It is a Female "Royal Marbled" Convict! She was only $25!
After acclimation for 2 hours wet drip AND Floating (so they could see each other and get used to each other) She was getting nipped a bit by my larger male Jewel. Now I have her in a grow-out tank.
How Fast Do They Grow?

Not all that rare.. Nice fish though.

yeah, at most just a con/HRP cross. that should have been like five dollars, i can get actual HRPs for around 5 bucks. sorry dude, you got scammed

Looks like all my convicts.

Royal is a clever name to get people to buy it. Not rare at all. Still a nice fish though.

Op: how fast do they grow?? Isn't that something to consider before purchasing?

Ive bred convicts a few times (usually not on purpose) and had ones that lookes similar, less red though. As far as growth goes, they grow quickly but I couldnt give you an exact growth rate, especially not knowing the current size or age of yours. If its near the size of your jewels and still growing, after a couple of months it should be big enough to try to add again.
