Two Red Tail Catfish I grew from 2 inches to 3+ feet.........My uncle got me into fish keeping when I was an early teen........I needed something to releive myself from the household......He bought two 300g tanks for himself after his wife passed away.......I, with the family, setup the whole tank room and watched the fish grow for 4 years........We ended up donating the rtc's to the Steinhart Aquarium....The fish are still there swimming about in that new Amazon enclosure............
 
32 inch Alligat gar, still have him, got him at 3 inches. He lives outside in Michigan from May to October, then its into the basement in an 8 ft diameter pool.
 
12" marbled pim and still growing;)
 
22 inch rtc x tiger shovelnose in a 215... i had him pellet trained to eat right our of my hand a really cool fish indeed... but he outgrew my tank so i donated him to a friends outdoor pond where i can check on him from time to time.

They can get up over 39 inches if the conditions are met. I was putting Shrimp pellets and some kind of weekend feeder(red pellet shaped) on a daily basis. I also had 4 plecos from 16 inches to 19.5 inches in the tank too.
