After all the sudden deaths I bought four CLs about 2&1/2ins/65mm. About two months later all have grown at least 1ins/25mm. As most know they have a very good life plenty of caves and an excellent range of food, I can assure they can eat.
I know they can put on a spurt but this is a sprint.

I suppose they were kept in small containers or with too many and had to struggle to get a good feed.
I will supply photos as soon as I can.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I have my CL for about 2 months now, but i haven't seen any growth. I always heared that they are slow growers.

I would chalk that one up to water quality and good food on your part.BTW how are your columbian sharks doing, as I'm guessing you do not use salt(or much) in your tank. My wife got some the other week, before I researched them and found out they can be full marine by adulthood.
