ive been kepping mine under 3.5 wpg of lighting(50/50 T8 bulb). ive had it for about 1.5 weeks and it seems to have grown some. are they fast growers or is it just my imagination?

They are supposed to be pretty swift growers under good conditions

Within months your little kenya will be a nice sized tree. Once it's full grown it will begin dopping limbs which will attach to the substrate and start forming new trees. Needless to say it's one fast grower!! |

Definately! When its happy it grows very quickly, mine got enormous and started to propogate itself all over my tank. I really liked my Kenya, but i recently gave it to my lfs because i didnt want 20 different Kenya's growing in my tank!

That sounds more like a kenya tree, I believe I have a Kenya on my one multi coral rock and the colt I have from a different purchase only retracts it arms at night. The kenya tree the whole thing shrinks at night. |

xNOTLOCx, that definately sounds like a Kenya, mine did that too (looking good on some days and like crap on others). When it closes and looks bad, it is probably going to propagate itself. After a while you'll end up with 20 Kenya's in your tank! Thats what mine did anyways.
Good Luck!
