Re: syno euptera
my eupterus's grew very quickly. You could notice it almost every day it seemed. I boughtmine as babies 2 yrs ago and they were like 2 inches long and now they are probably 6 inches long. The colours change more slowly then the size. Mine are now charcoal gray and the spots are less pronounced but still there, like a faded back ground spot. They still keep their fin colours. They are beautiful as babies and adults. IMHO.

Re: syno euptera
My (solitary) euptera showed similar development to Andywooloo's- from 2.5" to 8" (total length- she's just over 6" SL) in 2 years. I much prefer the adult colouration and fish shape (including the dorsal fin) to the somewhat strange-looking juveniles.
