Lovely Cat. I kept one of these many years ago when they were legal in UK to buy/keep. At the age you've got it they have an amazing growth rate. The belly looks like a tennis ball when they've eaten.
Mine grew to nearly 2/3 the size of the tank I kept it in (I'm too embarrassed to tell you how big the tank was). I gave it away to London Zoo aquarium when it was nealry 20". 6 months later they informed me they'd exchanged it with San Diego Sea World.
Make sure you get out at night with a torch-they are super active at lights out and prowl thier tank/pond.
Look after that beats and give it room to grow mate!

Eats cut up shrimp, cut up catfish filets, scallops, and silversides. Very soon I'll try beef hearts or chicken hearts and liver
