As for growth, I got most of them about the size of a quarter and it took about 6 - 12 months for them to grow to adult size. Females can get as big as the palm of your hand, where males are about half that.

I've had these guys for about 3 years now.

Is female always bigger than male? BTW awesome looking RFAs.

Thanks! Yes Females are always bigger. Another interesting fact is they breed in cycles. I believe its every 3 months (or is it 6?) the males will do their thing, releasing sperm for the females to collect. A few months later, babies start popping up. This event was really cool as I've never seen more then 10 -12 of them at a time.
