Good question. Never had an eight inch Olyroides myself or seen one eight inches - only seen six inch. Having said that, I have a filamentus that has also been six inches for the last six months and he's supposed to get to 19 and an albino nemurus which has maxed out at nine inches and he is supposed to get to 26" (although I believe him to be what was known as docmak)
The problem with some of the hemibagrus is that they are really hard to correctly identify, especially when young. Although, Olyroides is one of the easier ones to id due to the adipose fin.
I would suggest ( and it's only my guess) that males may be slightly smaller and thinner than females, so you could well have a male.
If course there are some hemibagrus that get much bigger than eight inches and you don't want to accidentally get one of those for a 29g.

I might end up showing him off in the future, do you want me to @ you should I make a thread about him?
I would stay away from green spotted puffers. They need start their life in slight brackish and eventually go full marine.
Red eye puffers would be great in a 29.
A red eye puffer would be an awesome predator for a 29
They’re small but pack a punch and have great attitude
Here’s mine
