Could people please share the growth rate of their clowns and at what age they slowed down?

Thus far I have heard one knife slowing down at 21" but I am unaware of its age...
 
That would probably be mine and it's 5.5 years old. And now it's around 25-26 inches. Starts from 3" and within a year it went up to 18". It starts to grow about 1" per 2-3 months and hit 21". It later grew even slower at almost 3 years old.

Yes I was refering to yours, thank you for the info!

Anybody else?
 
^ What ya feeding? Water change schedule?

Anybody else?
 
Probably depends on feeding and tank space...I had one that hit 13" and started slowing down from then on. I rotated feedings between shrimp and pellets once a day and occasionally feeders about once a month.
 
I got mine a while back at 3" before i sold them ata foot+. I had my gold for about 2months before i got the royal. so there was a significant diffenrece with size. id say about 4-5inches. the royal caught up within 3 months. They were in a 90g and this is when i had no idea on how large they got and how fast. Im planning on keeping all 4 versions when i move. I fed them the hikari carnivore pellets. some feeders water changes once a week. I had a huge sump on a 90 so water was str8.
