They look good. Does anyone know the exact size they get to or is it unknown? They might make a good monster addition :D.

Theres one here at the LFS and its been there FOR-EVER! I should ask them, but its been at least 8 years. It just sits there. Its about a foot and a half. No activity, except at night. Not like the usual loach behavior.
