nice collection! they look really cute. Ive been very interested in them lately. Have a few questions to ask if you dont mind replying. Do they grow very fast? How often you busk them in the sun? And where did you get them?? Thank you

I find they grow very slow. I busk them everyday in the morning as i dont have uv light for them. Bought them from a fellow hobbyist.

What are you feeding them? Diet could be a reason. Also tank size.

Hmm ok. What's your filtration and how often do you change the water? Try to give a more varied diet.

I feed reptomin to my RES as their main diet. Occasionally supplement with fish. Can try to feed veg also. Romaine lettuce.
