Well to be completely honest I'm doubting that it's wild caught. It could very well be, but usually when LJ's are in an LFS around the size you got it they are usually CB. What type of LFS was it? was it a chain or a mom and pop? and is the LFS reputable (not like would they lie, but do they know what they are talking about)? WC or CB it's a pretty good growth rate. From what I read about them people say they grow pretty fast until the 10"-12" range and then seem to slow down. I've heard that WC's will usually grow a little faster than CB given the right conditions, but that doesn't mean the CB won't grow fast. Either way I would say CB or WC it's a nice growth rate.
id say the space plays an integral pond. Mine came from my planted 100gs (long) where used to stay by the floating hydrilla plants. Then he went to a pond and believe it or not, he held his own with my big cats
