Seems hugely variable by individual or maybe lighting plays a role. Mine have not really grown bigger than 10" or so and I've had the green for like 5 years now and my purple just about a year and a half. I feed them like crazy too. Maybe with brighter lighting they'd be more apt to grow.

I've saw one monster at a LFS that grew to 24" but started off allegedly at 8" or so and took 5 years to get there. I don't know anything about the tank it came out of though.
