Golden nugget sizes

Post by jurassic_pork »

Hi all :)

I have a golden nugget that does'nt seem to be growing at all he seems fine happy and healthy and eats plenty but has not gained any length since i purchased him.
He is about 2/3 inches long and was thinking this maybe his supposed size but have read many posts saying that they get alot larger,I know there are three or four different types of nuggets and i think mine is an L081.

Any help appreciated :)

All varieties of gold nuggets will grow bigger than 2-3", but they aren't fast growers, that's for sure. Here is a thread that talks about how they are slow-growing...
