ok.
my tank is always like 30 degrees.

Mat,

yours is the fourth largest fries in the whole spawn.

It is quite unlikely that the rest can come close to 8inches...and not to forget they grew side way too.

yah, yah sideways. They grow sideways these plump fellas i almost forgot, not really longish but broad

and don't forget too they have plj.... mine super plj = protruding lower jaw...

my pacman is growing at 1.6mm/day
measured 132mm on 10/7...140mm on 15/7

wah that's very precise kind of measurements. can 'see' practically when it really growing... congrats

8mm divide by 5 days

Some updates. Just took some shots of my pair of pacs.

Larger specimen is now near 22cm this guy's growth is tremendous got it as a 5.5cm specimen on the 13th of april.

Smaller specimen is now at 15cm.

Their diet consists mainly of tetra monster pellets.
