Anybody have any idea what their growth rate is?. I miss my old vittatus I grew out but I don't have a big enough tank for one so thought about going a diff route with a forskahlii

1/2 a month until they reach what size before it slows down?

I don't see many people keeping these guys but I hear they max out around 10-12 inches in captivity?
Till about 8-10in Mark. Will get 12inches in most home aquariums.

Heard they are more aggressive than vittatius or Goliath... anyone keep them with silver dollars or other fish?

Probably the most aggressive fish I have ever kept. My 12" FATF had killed a bunch of silver dollars, blinded a couple of payaras and shredded a few tarpons. But they're super fun IMO and stay small so they should be totally fine in a 180.
