couple months, year a MAX most likely not even a year. all depends on water quality and how much you feed

roughly to what size??

should get about 7-8 inches in a year maybe more. mine grew from 2 to 8 in a year but it was in a 55. i'd say a year tops but maybe longer. i'd definately go for it if you have somewhere bigger to move it later.

Well i got my Midas at an inch,i kept him in a 20 long,he lasted 2 monthes and looked a little unhappy in there(he grew like 2 and a half inches in that time) he liked to swim from 1 end of the tank to the other really fast and kept smashing into the sides.So i put him in my 125,he has loved it since.But if he didnt act this way i probably could have kept him in that size tank for 4-5 monthes.
