they grow pretty quickly. Mine has put a couple inches on in a month or so.

I had him in with a black aro and he didnt bother the aro, but the aro laid him out a few times.

i think it all depends on what type it is as a freind of mine had one with a red tail very nice fish but a bit aggressive

im not sure about the rate of growth but they get HUGE! saw one in an LFS a few months ago at least 18 inches in length. and its width and girth were monster as well. This thing was big ugly and aggressive.
