Some questions from a newbie

[jowens]

I have a single orino in my 125, who lives by himself. I have had him since November 22, 2008 and he is about 5.5" long. He is fed FD krill and gut loaded giant danios, and is putting on an inch of length a month. Will he slow down at some point?

At what point will he outgrow the 125? I am hoping I can keep him in there until he reaches 12-14" or so. Is this a reasonable expectation? I have no problem upgrading his tank, but could only do a 180 until I move. I'd rather wait and then look into something in the 250-300 gallon range. I will be in my apartment at least until November of 2009.

Thanks for any responses.

dimensions?
they do tend to slow down at a certain point.
but ive never kept orinos myself so i'll let someone else tell you.
i think somewhere around 12 inches though.
