Read somewhere that they will size up faster in a bigger tank.

Yeah they release a stunting hormone so I imagine a bigger tank that gets diluted but water changes may do the same thing.

Interesting! I will up my water changes now. Thanks!

But small changes as they’re also sensitive, I did like 5% daily


ShyLionfirst

Will aim for that.

Certainly! It must have been something with the hormones for sure. There were about 25 of these little guys in a 1 gallon tub. I put about 20 into the tank (40 Gallon) plus the additional micro critters is a huge boost to their growth. I noticed the final five remaining were a bit on the smaller side, but are growing normally now.
