He's around 9 inches now. Just ate a large male convict today. Tried to get him on frozen but wouldn't take after 2 weeks and snapped up a few earthworms. Will try again tho. Here's a few pictures.
I picked him up at a fish store near me in october. They said at the time they were rare in the trade. @ 2 inches I was a bit dubious but he's grown so fast and really looks impressive now.
£40 @ 2 inch I paid. They had some in around the 7 to 8 inch mark they were selling @ £100. There was one on aquarist classified from nearby a few days ago.
