so i just picked up a little 2in iridescent shark and i'm hoping it wont take too long for him to become a monster.. what is the growth rate on these guys? like how many inches per month would you say they grow?
 
mine is growing very very slowly
 
Bought 2 about 3 months ago (2" long), they are living in my 300 gallon grow out tank but they are taking forever to grow. Maybe got an inch out of them in the 3 months.

At that rate it's going take 2 years until they are big enough to go into the 1500. I am hoping there is a huge growth spurt after they get a little older.
 
25" in 7 years, that comes out to be 1" every 4 months, however, this ID was grown out in a pond but was housed in a 75G for sometime.
 
Meako do you have a pictre of yours, I would love to see. And yes I also and finding mine to have a very slow growth rate with 50% wc's a day....:(
