Default 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.
