i am up grading my tank size soon and getting all new fish im going to get a GT and i was wondering how long it would take for it to get pretty big
 
well how big is the tank?
 
its going to be 150 gal.
 
I have a 180g....it took my GT over 6 months to get to 5"....and it all the sudden freaked out and beat the tar out a my Short body ZZ flowerhorn of the same size.....GT is now at a pet store up for sale:) I will tell you that the GT got to 3" from 1" very fast, but when it hit 4", growth slowed down a lot. Diet was great, frozen bloodworms, Krill and Hikari Bio-gold+.... so not sure why he stopped growing as quick as he was.
 
I bought mine at 1 inch 2 years ago, now it is only 7-8 inch, and he is in a 190.

I change a lot of water and feed a lot, the fish is also not under stress. Don't know what it is with GT's, but I seem to have very slow grow rates with them.

Just for comparising: it took my Midas less then 4 months to grow from 1 to 7 inch..
 
you should read my thread on GT's i wanted one and found out growth and tank size etc..it'll surely help if you read it..
