Is there any way to speed up the growth process?

Larger tank, better water quality, constant feeding over large feedings daily.

Expect to see 1-2 inches a month for at least untill it gets 2- 2 1/2 feet, which should take about 2 years.. Is yours still eating feeders at 13"? If so, try getting it to take frozen shrimp, cause soon, feeders won't be enough!!!

He is in 130 gal for my temp tank. And he eats about $10 of feeders a week or so
