These guys were around 3-3.5" when I got them. Today largest is 4.75 almost 5". All that growth in the time spen of Oct 25th - Today Nov 22nd.


Piwow Red Melon 4.75-5"

Love these Reds and looking forward to see them fully mature. Hoping to get a pair out of these three.

That is some growth rate. Don't want to go off on a tangent but what is that device in the corner?
