Clown knife growth rate?

[kiwifisho]

Hi all, new to forum. Picking up a baby clown knife soon, bout 10cm. Plan is to feed him Hikari sinking carnivore pellets and occasional worms etc. His grow out tank is a 110L/30g which will be heavily planted, then a 250L/50g, and a 330L/90g. Plan is to build a 3600L/1000g plywood tank but if it doesn’t work out he will go in a 1000L pond by himself. Just after a approx growth rate, and feeding methods to get a faster growth rate. Cheers

Believe a 1.5in per month till a 14-18 inches. Depends on water quality and food. Then slows down after that.

I have recorded these rates over the last few years from owners who posted growth rates from their own fish:

1) 2" to 7" in 2 months
2) 6" to 17" in 4 months
3) 13.5" by month 4
4) 4" to 13" in 8 months
5) 3" to 18" in 12 months
