This Catfish grows quick. It can easily grow MORE than a foot in its first year ,(15-18 inches)....
As with any predatory fish slowing down the rate of growth is possible by reducing feeding to every 2-3 days and or reducing portion size.
This cat won't stop growing @ 12 inches,lol!

One foot per year, so an inch per month until they reach 4 feet. You can stunt them by feeding them less.I did this and have one that stays at 1 foot in length.
