I was just kidding... She's just very small by nature. But she does tend to uproot my new bonsai plant at least once a week. Good thing she knows better than to fish for puffers.

Agreed. My GSPs nibble on their red rock caves and crushed coral. They also like to mutilate the artificial plants, especially the wispy, hairgrass type. I find entire stems floating at the top that have been bit right off.

Hey, I have one of those! She just never grew past 7 lbs. So tiny.

I wouldn't have upgraded my own GSPs if I was an advocate for stunting.

Stunting is for bonsais, not pets!

Hey Nicole, That sounds about right. In my experience, they grow a great deal in the first year. I also think it depends on the individual fish, or the group it came from and also depends on your tank. I have 3 GSPs I got the first one 2 years ago.
