Bought "Tank" on June 1st at a mere 2". He's currently 8 1/4" now, growing about an inch a week so far.
He's currently in a 30 gallon tank(beginner growout), he will then be going to a 75 gallon(intermediate growout), then to a 240 long(long-term growout). He will eventually end up in the pond. He's currently on a diet of massivore, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, chunks of round top sirloin, and he ate one of my Peacock Bass last night.
this is awesome! makes me wanna go out and get one! But, i do not have the grow out tank size even close to what is needed only have a 90 gal at biggest.
