I've heard its extremely hard to grow them to more than 10" in a home environment. I was looking into getting some but i shyd away after reading about their difficult care

i have never kept one so have no clue

All I know is what I have seen, never kept them. They need lots of room and a strong current flow, great filtration, and a high O2 level as well as large ammounts of live feeders.
