i bought a blue diamond 4 weeks ago when it was 3 1/2 inches and now its 4 inches is that good growth? and is it going to grow much slower because its 4" now?

Different species grow at different rates. Also, depends on their diet...what and how many times you feed them in a day. Tank temp also clocks there metabolism. Warmer temps speeds metabolism, cooler temps slow it down.
Of course the advantage to warmer temps is this will cause an increase in appetiate, hence faster growth..the downside is a shorter lifespan..Good luck..Ray
