I got the same page on Google. Who is responsible for this info.
I think it’s a typo. They meant feet instead of inches. It’s says in parentheses 2.5m and 2m . meters

It just looks like an innocent typo, they've put 'inches' when obviously they meant 'feet'. However, all is good because us 'professionals', lol 
realise immediately their mistake and would never purchase such a fish on the understanding it only grew to a few inches long. But a newbie who knew nothing, and read that, would dash down to their LFS to pick one up for their 55g!!
Their innocent mistake is being viewed by millions, you'd have thought they'd have proof readers to pick up on stuff like this.

Typo or no typo people will still buy them regardless.
A lot of people misuse " and ' when using them for inches and feet. I wonder if that's the case here, someone put something like Grows to 6"(2M) and someone dutifully transcribed it to 6 inches(2 meters)?
I don’t really think the typo matters. As long as someone sees a cool looking catfish that’s pretty cheap, it’s gonna get bought. Though there will be someone someday reading to try and do “some” research because of a impulse buy, that then posting a thread asking for, “how many iridescent sharks can I fit my 55 gallon?”
well in captivity most of them will only grow till 6.5 in lmao
