Captive breed ornate max out around 16"-18". Rarely go to 20". Some bad gene makes them stop at 12-14 inches. I used to have a male ornate and only grew to 13.5" and I've kept it for 5 years and it stop growing there. It wasn't just an ornate but my lap and endli as well only max out to 14-15". That was the time I started experimenting on foods and bought more bichirs. Found out that some captive breed that have good genes even if they are sibling will grow bigger and some with bad genes won't get as big. It's usually bichirs with unique appearance that's not look very close to a wild type stay smaller.

Wait for the 3rd year and if it still the same length then I think it stop growing now.
