Lined Seahorse growth

[mudskipper1]

I just got a young lined seahorse (erectus) and I was wondering how fast I can expect it to grow. It was born on new years day, and it is maybe 1.5" with tail extended. I am feeding it frozen Mysis shrimp, and it is eating pretty well. Any input on growth rates would be greatly appreciated.

A lot depends on the conditions it is kept in, mine are usually 4+ inches at 6 months. But that is a average, I had one that was 1.5 inches at 6 months and now at 1 year it is almost 9 inches.
