I must echo Krich. I too would love to get them but ever since getting one as a rescue by accident back in 2009, I have never seen them again.

Mine grew from about 14"-16" to ~20" in a couple of years.

Then I lost it on a 1500 mile move.

Shame to hear you lost that one victor.

That gives me some sort of guidance of there growth. I was just hoping they was faster then meglodoras. By the sounds of it to the few I've managed to speak to about them. They are.

Mine could have been bigger, IDK, perhaps 22"-24". I lost a hundred fish totaling 300+ lbs due to my stupidity that day. I didn't feel like measuring and taking pictures.

I'd think for all intents and purposes, they grow similarly to irwini / megalodoras.

Thanks victor.

If they're any intreast to you. There on the Surinam list currently. There was quite few left, my guys ordered 6 into the country. I'm having 3 myself. Might be worth asking your contacts.
