from my experience, after 14 to 16 inches, their growth is slowed somewhat
when they are small, they grow way faster than one inch a month and it tapers as they get older.

but thats in my experience

Yeah,that's what I've heard.

My friend has 2 silvers, he bought them at baby size, two years they are 17-19 inches.
But i thought it was the other way around, they grow faster at juvenile stage and grow slower as they get bigger?

yeah, about 1"/ month when they reach 15 or so?
 
dude 2 years for 17-19 inch is slow lol my friend raised my silver from 8 inch~20 sumthing inch in 5 months O_O

most of the members here buy their aros at 1.5" or so so 2 years is not that slow, maybe they feed them once a day. I feed mine 3x a day.
