Hi everyone.

I've had my GATF for approximately 2.5 years and he's about 17 inches long.

I'm just curious if he has peaked and is close to what his mature size will be or if he will grow a whole lot more. I know fish have indeterminate growth and expect that he will grow by small amounts over the years, but how can you tell if he will get much larger?

If kept in the right tank and taken care of properly it wouldn't even be half way there assuming his genetics are good as well

I don't know if there is a known way to determine whether or not a fish will grow more. But what I'm almost certain of is that your fish still has plenty of growth left in it :). And I concur with what greenerinks greenerinks said, would love to see some pictures. I have a 11.5" one that I've had for about 18 months now :).
