They are like 8-10" and gracilis max out at 7ish". That's actually what they are labelled as.

It seems to have smaller eyes and a thicker body than that one. Also the top fin on this one is really rounded

It is very likely a Rhamdia sp, in my opinion it looks more like Rhamdia queen than rhamdia guatemalensis. I would recommend to post this on planet catfish and the experts on planet catfish could help id it.
