My Gar hit 12" four months ago... He grew from 3-12" in about a year which is crazy fast but now he is done putting on his rapid growth, I have personally noticed 1" every 3-4 months and maybe even slower

It all depends on tank size and food intake. I have a Florida gar that went from 3 inches up to 16 inches in less than a year. I also have a Florida gar thats 3 to 4 years old that is a round 19-20". I have another Florida gar that's about 18 inches long and 2 to 3 years old. Expect less then or 18 inches within the first year or 2. then the growth slows dramatically after that. Growth comes almost non existent from that point on.
