CAE's are slow growers but still aggressive. I got rid of mine after 2 years and he was ~11 inches. They are not peaceful at any age but harmless under 3 inches, just really annoying. Hard to catch also as they are not as slow as people think. Quick bursts of speed. And they quit eating algae at anout 2.5 inches.
