Each fish of course is different and depending on your water quality, feeding, water changes, ect your results will differ. Ime should last 1.5-2 years max or if you use the 2x bl for the depth of the tank rule less than a year and this depends also on what size the fish is when you purchase it. Channels grow very fast ime.
