How fast do your monos grow?

They seem to be pretty similar actually, considering the difference in shape.
Here is them in June:

And this is them now:

They put on some good size. Cool looking tank.

Haha no worries. It is a white eyed/grey face moray

Here is an update on the scats, the largest is about 11 - 12cm now.

Thanks man this is very interesting.
So from my research online before I got these guys, I saw that they are full marine, or had to go into full marine sooner rather than later. If the highest ovulation rate occurred at 25ppt, would this mean that they prefer lower marine salinity? or do you think when they breed they migrate from full marine (say 35ppt), to freshwater, and this lower 25ppt salinity is what stimulates egg production?
So their health isn't much effected by higher salinity (maybe its better at full marine), but only for breeding one is advised to lower it?
Not that I want to breed them, just wondering. I like to keep the tank at the highest possible salinity as its easier to keep the nitrates low.
