give him 6-8 months and he should be big enough

i couldnt tell you exactly how big he would be but if you feed him well and carry out those water changes he should be well past the foot mark by then.
 
I got one at 3" and it grew 1-2" per month untill it hit 12" (then it got killed).
 
in 2 months time he'll be 8inch providing its eating well.
u can PROBABLY keep it on ur tank for 6 months more.
But then after that ULL NEED TO GET A BIGGER TANK with a BIG width.
