Of course acknowledging each fish is different, here is my experiance with this particular fish.

Temperment-very mild, no aggression at all to any other fish. Very personable, does not hide.
Growth Rate- I got mine last June as a health 9" fish, growth was unbelivable with the fish getting to 16" by december, lenght has slowed but the thickness of the fish continues to increase and is starting to rival my 20" Ornate. Weeksiis appear very massive as they have a short tail, vs fish like a lap which has a long flowing tail. (All Body)

Good luck with yours and be sure to post more pics as it grows.
 
weird all mine does is hide lol
 
yes i agree. i researched them before me and a buddy bought a couple and from what i found they said they were one of the more active bichirs but all ours did was hide all the time. mine eventually jumped out of the tank and i lost it but he still has his around 10 inches and still just hides all the time.
