He's cute! The ones we have are like, 2.5" maybe? Still white with a very small tinge of yellow on their bellies.
Give them time. They grow very quickly until 6 inches. At this point, growth rate eventually slows down. They can be rather pushovers though getting their lion's share of food.
 
I think I might throw one in there. I know I definately want one of our gars (they're just so friggin cool.)

1x 3" Gar
1x 2" Albino Oscar
1x 2.5" GT (not true)
2x 2" Texas
1-2 2-3" Severums

I'd really like some sort of bottom dweller/catfish-type. We have some pictus catfish, some Pyjama Catfish.. are these too small for this tank? I think a pictus would be really cool in there. I plan on using a AC110 and FX5 for filtering this, as when I get the 150+ gal I'll throw the FX5 on that. Would a pictus be okay to put in it?
 
Ya a pictus would be fine..
