Thats how big mine was when I bought him, took a year and a half to get him to the size he is now, if you can get him to a foot in a year I will be very impressed. Mine is in a 55 right now so I am sure they will grow faster in a bigger tank.

mine has lived in a 106g by itself pretty much for about the 6 weeks i have had it.
the thing is it was thin when i got it and dats like to add body mass and then they seem to sprout.
its getting pretty bulky now and has added around .5'' in around the last 3 weeks as it took about 3 weeks to get some bulk so i am looking for 1'' every 2 months or so.
i am sure i will have it upto 10'' + by july next year.
i got 3.5-4'' growth in 18 months out of my ST from 10.5''-11'' to 14.5'' and thats some feat on a dat that big as they are supposed to grow really slowly once big.
