Archer fish Growth

The title explains it all. Just got one taxotes jaculatrix
about an inch long wanting to know how fast it grows.

expect it to grow quickly if fed well. it should be 3-4" within a year and max out at about 5-6" within the next two. i've read they grow to 10" but have never seen one that big.
is it a brackish set up? do you anticipate feeding it live foods only?

I'm feeding it live black worms at the moment.
Its too small to grab hold of any crickets yet.
A mix of blackworm and frozen brine shrimp is it's diet for now. got any ideas? large earthworms and meal worms creep me out. thanks for the reply
