balloon molly growth

[MikenDanielle]

Hi all,

I just ralized that I may have a balloon molly with dwarfism, lol. He was born in my tank November 2007 and is still less than half an inch. He's also the only one who has survived. Is he of normal size for his age or will he be a little runt forever. I'm kinda hoping he will be cuz he's cute

He sounds stunted. How did that happen? How did you maintain its tank?

actually, just looked at him closely and he's over half an inch, but just barey. He's been in a 33g BW tank all his life. SG around 1.008-1.012. He lived with a few other mollies and knight gobies. Now he lives with a gsp and is the only molly i have left. HE eats tropical fish food. not sure why he's small.
