So will the size be similar to tsn or will it be smaller around 24-30 Inches?

In a small(ish) tank/pond, probably yes.

Really, I think no one knows for sure but the farmers that make them. In a large tank of at least several 1000 gal, I'd expect at least 3' (in 5-10 years) as both parents reach that. Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum, the maternal species, grows even bigger. Leiarius marmoratus, the paternal species, maxes out at ~3' in the wild.

That's what I thought. How big is your biggest catfish you have and what's the tank or pond kept in?

This is off topic but quickly 3' Oxydoras niger in a 4000 gal 40'x6'x3' (can see him here, from a while ago http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29488&hilit=pet+catfish )
