Well fed and in adaquate housing, most of the big plecs can grow around an inch a month for the first year, and slow down after that. You can expect him to be a foot inside of a year to a year and a half, but 18 inches may take another few years after that.

If it's a gibbiceps, 18 inches may not even be the end of it, though.
