Silver aro - 2-3 inches a month till they reach 12-14 inches then start to slow down.
Pearl aro - 1 inch a month till they reach 10-12 inches then start to slow down
Asian aro - 1-2 inches a month till they reach 12-14 inches the start to slow down.
Black aro - 1 inch a month til they reach 8 inches and start to slow down.
Spotted aro - ? I never experience keeping one.
RTG, GREEN and XBACK are all asian aros. By the way are you from the U.S.? Asian aros are illegal in the U.S.
