[ben1987]

They will probably be ready about 4-5"

I'd say will probably max at a foot or so. This article says half that, but I don't believe that's correct. (It's by Bob Fenner, FYI.)

The scopas, I'd say, should be about the same.

I don't know how big Gary's tank is size wise, though.

I've read that fish that get stunted are only stunted by outward physical appearance. There insides keep trying to grow and they have an early demise due to it. Maybe some well informed on this topic will let us know if this is correct.

Your tank isn't big enough in the long run gary. Remember your lfs is there to sell you fish and we're here to help. They didn't inform you very well for the long run

Hi Gary, how's it going - update on your nem?

Also, just looked at your photos again, might just be that they are not close ups, but your hammers don't look like hammers to me?
