its the same family as the gibby, but the colours are ther other way around, L001 max out at around 10" much smaller than gibbies.

I have one which I bought at about 1.5" he is now knocking on 10" after about 2 yrs (if that long)

True.
Though this can be the case for some fish, but it's not nearly as simple as that, depends on many factors. Regardless, 'stunting' is not good for them.

Not that it matters much though, this topic is about 5 years old!
I'd be glad to see the 'similar topics' option go .
