Quote "meaning they kind of grow to tank size and dont need 1000g like TSN or RTC" 
This the most common & most damaging misconception in fishkeeping!
ARTC regular grow above & beyond 24" + unfortunatley most die because of bad keeping practices! They should grow to 36+ in the wild or in proper Aquairia/pons.
They are also one of the most agressive & territorial fish you can keep in Captivity (along with Channa Micropelts & Sperator Aor)
