Fish Crazy
Beautiful fish. How big do they grow?
It should grow to a maximum of 8 inches in a tank.
They are slow growers, I've had it around 4 months and it has grown a little say maybe half an inch.
Stunning fish, very vibrant colours this pic doesn't really do it any justice!

What are you basing that statement on?

That is a gorgeous fish 
I have had one since Feb and it has only grown very slightly if at all. As has been said, it is hard to replicate their natural environment of warm temperatures and a carpet of food.

I google searched care sheets and maximum size for golden nugget and read through what comes up.

They are beautiful and yes it is hard to replicate there natural envoirement.
I have good filter flow and water movement, plenty of wood and hiding places.
I feed Hikari wafers, shrimp pellets, bloodworm and offer fresh fruit or veg every day wich is happily recieved so I'm doing my best to give him the best possible care.
I believe they are notoriously hard to acclimatise but he has coloured up beautifully and grown slightly since I got him 4 months ago so I'm hoping I'm over the
acclimatisation period now and he will live a long time.

^ agree that Barys are buggers to acclimatise, from both personal and close friends experience.
At 4 months I think you can assume you have made it, always keep an eye on its belly and poo for possible issues.
Haven't read any of the sites you list so will have a look through them when I hhave time, I get my info and input from Planet Catfish, Pleco Planet and L-welse (through google translate)
