The male has grown 4 inches in 4 months with lots of water changes and power feeding. He was a little less than 1" when I got him. He's now almost 5"... not there yet.

The first couple of months he grew a lot but then he slowed down somewhat, he hasn't grown much in the last few weeks.

Female is considerably smaller even though I got her only a week later.
 
That's crazy fast growth for a salvini. Yeah, he's at that size now where he's gonna grow much slower than he was the first few weeks. Good luck with them, I hope they give you some babies soon.
