It's been almost a year since I bought my Florida Gar for my 300 gallon. I purchased him as an Alligator Gar, then thought he was a Spotted, but after further research I'm positive he's a Florida. When I bought him, I also bought a Silver Arowana, which was about the same size as him. A few weeks after, I bought a baby Peacock Bass and four Blood Parrots. I had a Redtail Catfish, but I gave him to my cousin who has an indoor pond big enough for that monster. Recently, I put a Pleco in the tank as well. The aro has grown quite a bit, probably nearly doubled in size. Same with the Peacock Bass. The parrot fish have thickened out since I got them... but the Gar has barely grown at all. How fast are they supposed to grow?
 
They usually grow to about 12" quick but slow way down after that. How big is it?
