VERY VERY slowly (especially compared to oscars who grow very VERY fast)

their vegiterian (mostly) so dont need alot of protein... but no protein means slow growth.

nice fish tho

They grow to about the size of a baseball in about a year, then their growth rate slows down. I think they reach adult size (6 to 8 inches) in three years or so . . .

Sorry, I didn't respond here because the question was asked/answered over in the Oscar forum -- the thread you started called "silver dollars?" :confused:
