Time to morph???

[shop worn angel]

Hi!

I am happily watching my 4 Chinese Firebelly babies grow- the oldest one is about 4 months old, now.I'm a bit concerned that they have not morphed yet, thinking it would be at the 3 month mark. They still have their gills and are remaining fully aquatic. They seem to be growing nicely and have a really nice colour. Should I be worried?

I don't know how long cfbs take to morph, but if they look healthy and are growing nicely, I wouldn't be too concerned; I'd just sit back and wait until they're ready. I have 20 alpine newts I raised from eggs, that hatched last year, and a couple slowpokes still have gills.

Age is not the most important factor. It´s size. You can expect them to start morphing once they are around 3,5-4 cm long.
