take a seat and dont hold your breath. these guys grow pretty slow. but the payoff is great

You will need a 55 gal within the year, so start saving.

I have the money saved up. Just need to graduate from college first. In may I will have atleast a 55 gallon tank.

i have mine in a 120. hes close to 10". but must say these guys do grow fairly slow.

A lot of 6-8" fish. 9-10" are harder to find. 11" and up are really hard to find, with most being show type fish because the larger ones always seem to have a look unique.

I would have to agree that they are slow growers. O have never seen one over 12" but I am kicking myself for not buying a 10" male I saw in a LFS. I passed because of split fins.

GT's are awesome when they get nice size nuchal humps.

 

[Modest_Man]

13" male

12" male

They can get large, but most will not reach these sizes.

 

[mcgratda]

Thanks again for all the advice. Guess I will be waiting till may to get another fish with the bigger tank.

 

[BadFishPa]

Every fish is different,some may get 14 inches some may not reach 8. Food ,tank size and genetics i am sure play a role in it..

i've never seen any GT over 12" excluding MM's wild males

and i've never seen a captive grown GT over 10".
