Hey, I was just wondering how long would it take a pearl gourami from like a size of 5cm to reach full size if the fish was in good conditon and everything else in the tank was in top condition?

Just a curious question if anybody who has kept pearl gouramis before know a range of time until the reach their full size.
 
I think my two pearls grew to adult size in less than 6 months. Took a while longer to get the adult coloration though, but they did grow up very quick. My gold gourami reached adult size in 4 months, so I'm guessing it was about the same for the pearls but it's been a couple of years so I can't tell for sure.
 
Oh yea, when they say a pearl gourami can grow up to 4-5 inches, is that from tip-of-mouth to tip-of-tail or is it from tip-of-mouth to start-of-tail?
