If I was me i'd start looking for a bigger home for him , by 2016 he should be around 2ft in length so at least 6x2x2 or he's going to be very uncomfortable possibly stunted , the barbels won't have chance to grow back before the rubbing starts again
He's a stunning looking fish though good luck with him :thumbup:
