Niiice, although I am a bit surprised at the growth rate of the tor. I am feeding pretty much the same except for the addition of insects.

I'm seeing 2" a year. Ma-a-ybe 3" last year. What are you seeing? What is average / to be expected?
The first 6 months their growth was immense, almost 4",two years ago, my tor tors were 10" and 12", today they are almost 18"+ and 20"+
No idea as to what would be average expectancy, in my observations, I have found that tank mates also plays a big role regarding fish growth rates, my cichla and bagarius, grew the slowest when kept along side tors.
The bagarius showed growth spurts after I moved them along side the dorados.

So you are seeing 4" a year with two specimen. Roughly then, my 2"-3" a year with three specimen is not too bad. I can calm down a bit.
Looks like the kind of fish that would fit well in my pond.
Dec 2, 2017 update on the smaller "Thai golden mahseer". Its ID is still a mystery to me.
It's been separated from everybody else in the 4500 gal and placed in a 240 gal to grow up a bit, which it has been doing but painfully slowly. Since I transferred arowanas into that 4500 gal, the size disparity was too much and the arowanas looked like they could in theory attempt to swallow the smaller mahseer.
As I learned from Jibran, mahseer become skittish when solo. Exactly what I have been seeing with this guy. It feeds well but not as infinitely-greedily as its insolent kin gang that remained in the 4500 gal and it is afraid of me no matter what I do near the tank.
The video's point is on a different matter. Never mind that. The mahseer can still be often seen throughout the vid:

Been one year to the day!
Mandatory Feb 12 update. The littler khudree (malabaricus) is featured from the beginning and almost to the end when the bigger khudree comes in for several seconds:

Video update on the smaller one in 240 gal. It has gone into 4500 gal a few weeks ago. I was nervous a bit as it is small but so far it's been doing well. Anyhow, last video in 240 gal:
Yearly update. Probably put on a couple of inches since last video of a year ago:
Video update on the unknown / Thai golden mahseer going from 4500 gal to 25,000 gal:
