Story of the title fish. Not growing for us, still a bit over a foot, maybe 15 inches. Seems like that for other peers?

Yep! Mines two years in the pond now and just around a foot still. Went through the usual “better check I got the right fish” syndrome but there is only dispar and macrolepidota available to me and Color wise you can tell which is which. I have macrolepidota, but SOOOOO slow growing!
