Growth looks very good and typical...Mine are currently in the 6 to 7 inch range and growing rapidly...
 
There all looking good guys the ones i have left at the store are at the 6-7" range also i feed them everytime i walk past the tank pellets. There like dogs see you and go right up to the glass begging for food. They are truly awesome gars. My large guy at home will eat anything you drop in the tank off the bottom or top doesnt matter to him. Best of luck to you all. Mike

How much is the one in your store going for? I might have Nic pick it up for me.
 
i've got mine eating the large pellets already, and they're doing great!!! thanks again mike. one is a spaz, and may not make it to adulthood with a straight back. the other is mellow man like my big one.
one thing i noticed is: the two new ones i got don't have a trident, not even a shadow of a trident. these two are getting to the size of my original trop. gar and he always had a trident and still does at 18" bl. kind of weird.
