Geos are very slow growers. If you want adults, your best bet is going to be to buy adults, however, be ready to drop a chunk of change, as most adult geos come with a nice price tag, as it takes so long to grow most out
And btw, nice geos Cbourg! I'm sure HUKIT will have something to say about the severums (he hates them for some reason) lol

Thanks and you are correct. They tend to grow rather slow in most cases. Some slower than others. My altifrons purchased in January this year came in at 3" and have just reached the 5" mark where the winemilleri I got around the same time are barely 3.5"and they came in at 2.5"

Brutally honest there huh bud! I liked them and found they had great color for juvies. Plus to show I'm not in the poor house I did get a red pigeonblood discus to add to the group. Lol

I've kept discus a couple of times and would like to again since I have a amazing local breeder here call Chicago Discus.
