It depends on several things. Water temperature, feeding and water quality have a lot to do with growth rate. My first batch of cuckoos grew very quickly to about 2 inches within 3 months & within a year they were about 4.5 inches. At that time I did twice weekly water changes & fed heavily. I've got several younger synos that have grown about half as fast because I don't feed as heavily as I used to and my temperature is lower than it used to be. I have given a friend of mine several over the years & they grow extremely fast. Within 3 months they are about 2.5-3 inches. He has a heated fish room & feeds every day.
