Depending on size of fish and dimensions of pond, you should be good for maybe a year. They grow about an inch a month, and slow down at about 18 inches.. I sold my Alligator gar at 20 inches and it took him 18 months to get there from about 7 inches!!!

That growth rate is not typical at all. Most of mine were 18-24" in the first year. Either getting this size in other peoples tanks or growing them myself.
