I got a 3" one last January. Had some problems with parasites that took me some time to clear up and I thought I was going to end up eith a stunted 4" fish for awhile. He is now a tad under a foot. Eats anything. No aggression issues, but he has a 150 almost to himself. Swims the whole tank. When I recover from my surgery I can get back to work on the 700 he will be in.
