What are other slow-growing genera aside from Pelinobius, Grammostola, Tliltocatl, Selenotypus, Aphonopelma, and Brachypelma?

C. crawshayi aka P. muticus (King Baboon) is a slow grower, and the only species in the genus, so you could say the entire Pelinobius genus are slow growers lol

Also, would Brachypelma albiceps count as one of the fast-growing red rumps despite being in the Brachypelma genus?

Well my B Albiceps is certainly not fast growing I brought mine, as a juvenile back in August last year & it has not yet molted with us. I brought a P Sazimai off the same person, on the same day & that has molted at least twice & is more than twice the size it was.
