Any idea how long it would take for him to reach 7-8"? I never keep "too large" fish in my systems I think its very unkind to the fish.

Like my radiata lionfish is supposed to grow to 8". When I got him 1.5 years ago he was 3-3.5" now he is about 5-5.5" with fins. I'm going to put him in the 6' long tank as well and that should be enough space for a few more years.

I just don't want the trigger to grow to 7" within a year because that is too large for a 6' tank in my opinion.
