eyebiter cichlids

....can anyone tell me how fast they grow? are they slow growers like fantosas? or fast like pbass!!! i'm thinking of starting a rift tank.

Mine went from tiny juvies about the size of my pinky finger to about 9 or 10 inches in two years (they're still an inch or two from full size).

I have no aggression problems with them at all and my gender ratio is totally out of whack (two blue males and a female), and they totally ignore their tank mates.
