what's the growth rate for wolf fish?

i have a red fin wolf...

feed on prawn, live shrimp n feeder molly..

n also.the redness isn't out..

pls advise..
Any Hoplias species that I've had grew about an inch every couple of months... but, reds are Erythrinus species (E. erythrinus) and only grow to about 7". :)

I have a 5 inch wolf as well, but I am concerned it isnt eating. Will they only eat when Im not around or when its night time? I put some goldfish in with it but its in a tank with a 12 inch florida gar, 6 inch dempsey and 6 inch gold flake pike who all devour the goldfish, so i dont know if he ate or not...should I be concerned?
