He was 11" when someone gave my gar and three others to the pet store. All the gar they brought in where fairly larger. My girlfriend worked at the store and called me right away so I had first dibs. I wish I had bought more, but only had a 55g at the time. He has grown only 4-5" since I got him, but he did live about 5yrs in the 55g, before putting him in a 120g. Ive been researching for quite a while to find his exact type. Thought he was a spotted by his dark colors, but you think Florida Huh?
