First off no offence to you you should have done some reasearch before the buy
these fish grow huge up to around 3 feet maby more in the tank they will eventually eat whatever can fit in there mouths including tank mates! As babies i have mine on defrosted shrimp ATm they grow VERY fast and will grow AROUND 1 inch per month maby more!

thanks , i do no the size it reach but i did no fond the grow rate , it gone be 40cm in one year . i can live whit that i already have is new house on plan so in a few months it gona move

They get big in a hurry. They eat like there's no tomorrow and they're predatory. One of the true tank busters in the hobby. You'll have a nightmare on your hands within a year if you're not careful.

40cm in one year is a definite possibility with proper care, and feeding. Might even go larger more like 45-50cm.

is going to a indor pond of 3000 gallon in no more than 6 months . is gone be
13.2 feet x6.6x4.95 . this must be god for life for him, my silver, ray, citala, cichla and others . iam just waiting for the citty permits to0 start building the fishroom

cool, looks like hes gonna have plenty of room. a friend of mine has one. he feeds it a lot of things like fish, shrimp, mussel and fish filet. This thing grows fast! it went to over 30cm in 5 months. From what i see, its behaviour is pretty simple: during day, most of the time it just chills out and during the night it goes hunting/swimming.

 

[necrocanis]

cool, sounds like you might need a couple more monsters to go with him if it's a 3000 gal.
