Pearl Gourami size

[cheesemaker]

hello, just bought myself three pearl gourami (1 male / 2 female) in my 40G tank.
They are all about 2 inches in length... just wondering if all went well, how long does it take for them to reach full size?

A lot of factors can effect this but it should only take a few months as they grow very fast. They'll about double in size BTW.

Pearl Gouramis are probably my absolute favorite.
