I was just wanting to know how fast they grow because mine seems to be growing very slow compared to my other fish.

they do get very old - mine are over 20 years of age now - that might explain why they are not in a hurry to grow and multiply

They generally are not quick growers - have you seen the breeding account in the forums? That may give a little more info.
