I've always wanted a shoal, TUIC have some 5" for $ 50, how fast do these guys grow ? At 5" I can propbaly put them in the 540....

I had mine for about a year. Bought it at maybe 2.5 inches and now is about 3.25 to 3.5 inches. I know other people who grew theirs a lot faster than mine.

they grow super fast in a large tank. Mines grew from 4 to 9 inche within a year.

Actually, looking at my wide bar silver dollar today, it is more like 4 inches.
 
I bought mine at about two inches plus and after two years they range from 4 and one half to six inches plus.
 
xeeexx, these are the slowest growers i have ever seen
depends on tank size of course, but still very slow
LOACHES grow faster....IMO
