afros look like minnows kinda they are filter feeders and can get up to 3 feet potentially

Yup most hang around 22"-26" they're filter feeders and act alot like gobies when they have fine substrate (swallow a chunk sift and spit, rinse repeat) Small foods and larger adults may take small fish but mostly stick to small food....
