GSP Growth
Hey, folks! I made a lot of topics about this before about my GSP not growing. I got him on May 22, 2010: Just about 3 years ago. He didn't grow at all, and now he seems to be growing quite quickly: Anyone else experience this? No growth for almost 3 years, and now he's finally getting bigger ~ Just wondering if it's common or not. Thanks

Re: GSP Growth
Any recent changes that might have caused this? (new tank, removal of tankmates, food sources, salinity, etc.)

Nope, everything is the exact same.

Re: GSP Growth
Hmm... Interesting. Hopefully some experts will chime in on this.

Re: GSP Growth
Just His genetics. Surprisingly there are as many growth rate variations as there are spot patterns for GSPs.
Sexual maturity is at 2-3 years, so maybe that is what encouraged growth.

Re: GSP Growth
The green spotted puff I had a long time ago was pretty much the same way - he stayed the same size for a while then started growing quickly.
