The new growth looks very smooth. I had the same issue with my male Burmese star who is now 8"+. I think some stars are just prone to pyramiding more than others. I see more pyramiding in males than females, but that is from very limited experience and I'm no expert.
Thanks! That’s very helpful to hear. I really was hoping to raise a smooth Star, and tried to follow all the advice and help from the forum, but he/she still did pyramid. It’s funny you say that about gender. Still too small to tell what I have, but I’ve been leaning towards male. Time will tell. Hopefully he/she will continue to grow more smoothly.

Oh ok. Thanks for the reference. Mine is 564 g and just over 5 inches. I might know soon enough.My male started flashing around 500 grams.
