I've had a Blue Linkia for about 4 to 5 years and its been through a lot including being swallowed by my Rose BTA a few times. Each time however, the BTA spits the Linkia back out thank goodness.

I have noticed that my Linkia has not grown in that time but seems to have shrunk in size actually. I've had it for a while now but I doubt that it is thriving.
