[PlatyLady]

I think she matured at about the average rate, not partcularly fast or slow. Only two survived (they weren't intentional), one male and one female. The water temp sometimes gets a little high, despite the fact that it's supposed to be set to 76 all the time because the desk that the tank sits on is sort of near our heater (which we have no control over). I do feed them bloodworms pretty regularly in addition to spirulina and regular flake food. You could be right, maybe she just matured quickly due to warm temps and diet.
