Star update - 3 years on
I cannot believe how much they have grown
You might have seen them for sale, but in the end i just couldnt do it My big girl when i got her she was 112g now at nearly 600g Little ones When i first got them they were about 18g each Male larger one is 200g and he flashed me for the first time today lol Female growing ever so slow at 100g- 100g difference between the two Yes they are a little bumpy male all together

They are gorgeous Sarah, I have a slow growing star too, both mine are the same age but there is 100grams between them too, I guess some just grow faster than others.

They look great, I've noticed the same with my reds; kept the same, fed the same yet one persisted on being bumpy - frustrating isn't it.
