Im guessing he topped out at 9-10 inches. Im sure he grew pretty fast up to that point or at least to the 6-7 inch mark.
 
My past green terrors grew pretty slow ( inch every month or so) until I had to treat the tank for internal parasites. Growth sky rocketed to the stereo-typical 1 inch a month until the terror hit 7-8".

might be worth a preemptive parasite treatment as I've noticed the GTs harbor them quite often. I've noticed the same thing with my geos
 
My 10.5" 2.5 year old Gold Saum is eating Hikari Bio gold plus, freeze dried krill, market shrimp, pees and occasionally I added small amounts of garlic to the mix. The Hikari pellets are the staple of coures. I did not properly document his growth but it seemed to me that he grew about 8 inches in a year and then slowed in growth relative to length by more then half his original growth rate. Instead he grew in girth. Over the next 1.5 years he grew almost 3 inches and really fattened up. I would love for him to grow to 16" but i doubt that is going to happen. Of course, I don't know when he will stop growing for sure but if I had to guess I think he might get to 12 maybe 12.5

Here is a recent pic of him.
