1. They can get up to 14'' or so, 3 lbs. In aquaria, I'm sure they can get bigger if fed properly.
2. For a 2'' fish you could keep it in a 30 for a while, then up to 55, 75, 90, and so on. But for life, I'd suggest nothing less 75, but this depends on tankmates and what you are wanting to do with the tank.
3. No heater. Room temp is fine.
4. Depends on what you feed it, and how often. I'd expect a 2'' fish get 6''+ in a year, 10'' by year two.
5. Depends on tank size. Obviously can't have anything that with fit in its mouth.

Awesome fish! Ive had a few, their in our local creeks and rivers. Your other fish should be fine as long as their not small enough to fit in the red eyes mouth. their fine with most fish but will show aggresion towards each other quite a bit.
