in right conditions in one year it will be7-18 inches one and a half of a year it will be 20-23 inches that is near two feet long in less than a 2years starting as a baby. in four year it will be 3ft long in 5-6years it will be 4feet in length. These fishes are highly territorial. they can swallow anything near their own size!
You must love'in order to keep one! it need at least a 265 gallon tank. I have own over a dozen redtail cats. keeping these fishes is a life time thing. noboby should own one unless they will meet these requirements, In the wild paranias are use as bait to catch theses gaints.
