title says it all

i was wondering when they are 2" what is their growth rate like ...
 
I don't remember exactly but they are the fastest growing fish I have ever had the pleasure of keeping.It should hit six inches in about two months with proper care.

what where you feeding, what was your water parameters also what was your water current
 
just realized my massive grammar fail on the title
 
Fast enough that very few people keeping them can actually keep up with properly sized tanks.

Most end up smashing themselves to death when the owners fail to accommodate the huge tanks they need.

NOT a fish for the average hobbyist. Very few will be able to house them properly after just a year.

How big are your tanks?
 
not big enough ;)

Well,I started mine on guppies then rosey red minnows and goldfish.I later got them onto freeze dried krill and raw fish fillet.I'll be honest but I have not big on checking the parameters in my tanks for a few years now.I'm pretty certain the water is around neutral though and my current is just what the sump return and canister filters provide...My big boy is about three years old and about fifteen inches now....never skittish and has never bashed his snout on the panels.

That doesn't even seem right. Most people's hit that the first year- year and a half.
 
Maybe it's because it's not in thousand gallon tank or pool,
