aww but i kinda like the cuteness. looks like im gonna need a bigger tank or something. i guess ill keep them as long as i can and then eat them or put them in my friends pond. how fast do they grow?
I know books say 18 inches, but that is highly unlikely. 12 is more like it. That will take well over a year. So no rush on th larger tank. But be sure to keep it in mind to be able to provide a decent tank for him/her as it grows.
