I've got an albino pearl, M, that I got in December around 4 inches.

On December 30, I measured him an he was 4.375"
As of today with a confirmed measurement, he is 4.7 inches.

He has grown less than half an inch in 2 months. Has anyone ever had a ray grow this slow? Anything I can do to speed up his growth?

As of right now he has only been eating earthworms, 2x a day, 3 or 4 worms a feeding. He refuses all other foods except for anything live. He has a 125 to himself, with a few ancistrus that leave him alone.

I currently have 15-20 rays as I can't keep track of them sometimes and I've never had this slow of a growth on a pup.

Any tips here?
