They will do, Musks don't grow to more than 4" or 5" max, what size/age are yours now?

My Musk is about 8 or 9 months old now and 1.25" SCL, it should grow no bigger than the smallest of my adult Southern Painteds.

It's grown considerably since I got it a few months ago, it was just under 1" then, but it'll be years before it gets to full adult size.

Is that overall length or SCL? 1.5" is a bit big for it's age.
