Not really they grow slowly sort of you must remember that full grown they are not a massive giant pleco. All in good time

Hi, what temperature are they at? , because that can affect rate of growth too. but remember the warmer you have the tank the less oxygen water holds so need airiation with it.

first of all it would be good to tell us the sizes of them...

you will find if the are quite small about 1-1.5 inch they will grow to the 2-2.5 inch mark in arround a year. after that they tend to slow down and take a long time to reach their 3-4 inch full grown size...
