I have had this Marlboro Red for about 4 months, and I would like to know if he is stunted.

I believe he is because, to me, his red coloration is too intense for his size!

How big was he when you bought him? How big is he now?

To me, there is no much difference then from now (around 2.5 inches). I saw another MArlboro Red that was a little bit bigger than mine (like my leopard) and his red coloration was less intense and did not covered all his body as mine is. I can say that I have seen a difference in the leopard size, a little bigger now. Also, the leopard's eye is a little bit smaller than the the MArlboro Red's eye.

I think my leopard size is between 3 inches and 3.5 inches.

The Marlboro is probably seven months old and 2.5 inches so yea, stunted. Is he eating well? If so, have you wormed him? How often are you feeding? He's a nice looking fish otherwise.
