Expect them to grow 8-12 inches in the first year, slowing considerably after that. After the first year maybe 1-3 inches per year depending on species. Temensis will continue to grow pretty quickly after the first year, where Monos and Orinos will slow to the 1-3 inch per year mark. Plan for the fish to be 18 inches in 3 years, and 24 inches at full grown. Some will grow even larger than that. Species and genetics play a big part in growth rate, as does feeding habits and water quality. A rule of thumb is that if you dont plan on being able to house a 24 inch fish that can easily eat a 2lb bag of raw shrimp per week, per fish, dont get one.

The Tem's and Mono's grow fast, the Orino takes forever...........
