Is This An Average Size For A Clown Knife At A Year And A Half?
And How Much Longer Till He Will Max Out In Size?
What Is The Average Size For A Captive Clown Knife?
From What I Can Tell He Is Around 22 Inches Right Now And Over A Inch Thick At The Widest Part. He Is In My 450 Gallon And Eats 5 -10 Goldfish A Day Around 1 And A Half Inches.

Great looking CK! I'd say the growth is just about right, if not exceeding. On average, I'd say people have 18"-22" CKs. I haven't seen any past that asides from a public aquarium.
 
At around 5 years that CK will surely pass 22". I have a CK that is in my 375g and almost pass 5 years old and it's almost at 26". Main diet are prawns/shrimps, cut up smelt, cut up barramundi fillet, sea bass tilapia fillet, cu up tilapia fillet, live frogs and cut up frozen gobies. Occasionally diet are feeders goldfish, squid, baby snakeheads, baby midas cichlid, baby convict cichlid and triops.
 
thats probly average growth...mine is at 18"+ and it is like a year or so i don't remember exactly...i posted it alittle bit ago...it'll get much bigger with room to grow...most only top out so small cause they are in smaller setups...i have to agree with benz on the general captive size though...
