Not sure as the one I haven't kept much. The one I have is a slow grower. I'd imagine similar growth rate to the melanura though, which for my male, reached 10" in about a 1.5 years, then reached 12" at 2-3 years.
Your tank is looking a lot more relaxed these days, you must be happy about it now the aggression levels have gone right down!
