They are supposed to be able to get up to 2 feet long, but I don't think most get that big in capitivity.

Mine is about 11 inches now - just a little over a year old.

im pritty sure they get 16 to 20 inches in captivity

Mine is currently at the 10-11 inch range. Really cool looking fish.

I've heard that 18" is the norm for these guys, but they grow slow.

How large is your new BGK?

In a home aquarium, it will probably max out at around 18 inches. It will definitely exceed 12 inches when full-grown. It will eat anything that fits into its mouth and would appreciate someplace in the tank to hide where it can feel "surrounded" like a cave or a tube.

Congratulations on your new BGK!

My 1st bgk was around 12 inches got him when he was about 3 -4 inches. But he died... Then I bought from a friend a new bgk that is around 10 inches right now.
