Hey, does anyone know the max size of these guys? I'm reading they rarely get over 16" in the aquarium setting, does that sound about right? Thanks
I have had one maybe 4 years now. 150 gallon tank. Went from 4 inches to maybe 9 now, still great color. Really doesn't seem to be growing any more. He's the largest fish in my tank, some of his tank mates are 1 inch chain loaches. He could care less about any of the other 100 plus fish. Once in a while he'll "quick chase" the second largest fish in the aquarium a T-barb. One length of the tank at most, just to remind the barb he's the big dog. Absolutely love him. He has one bad eye, purchased that way at a discount, maybe that's why he is peaceful and not huge. I also don't overfeed-he gets what they all get, every other day-rotating flake and blood worms. Zucchini once in a while.Hey, does anyone know the max size of these guys? I'm reading they rarely get over 16" in the aquarium setting, does that sound about right? Thanks
