at what size do RTCs growing slow down? i've had rtcxtsn and tsn but only till they were 9-10" and then got rid of them and they showed no signs of slowing down.
 
I would say 18" is a good round number I'll see what others say. That's the number I see the most.
 
so after they hit about a year old they start to slow down on the growth rate......i just got one thats 3 inches and curious about how long a 5 x 6 pond will house him.
 
they grow like weeds once they slow down their growth in length they pick it up in girth... I've had them really grow to 20"+ quick and I've had a couple that really slowed after only 12"... I think it's a male female thing but can't say for sure
