Having had many Buttis in the past, I found myself wondering if anybody here has actually seen a full blown adult? I'm talking HUGE.

I have not... which surprises me, with their rapid growth and all. Biggest I've seen were mine, approx a foot long.

Aquarium Depot in MD had one that was a good 16-18" for 200.00.. Could have even been 20" but it was big and probably pretty old at that size. But it looked beautiful. :)
 
Any possibility you took a pic?

Nope.. sorry..:(

PM pdn and ask him to see if he can stop down one day and grab a pic if they still had it. I'm like 1 hour + away and pdn lives 15 mins from there. I'll put it this way.. it was a fish that was well worth the 200.00.

Also Miles has a pretty big one. Check the photo lounge for his most recent pic thread and it's in there.
 
I have had mine about 7 years now and I bought him when he was 'nearly full grown''.. IMO.. Only cost me $20 too.. :)

About 16" long, with tail.. And about 3" thick.. very HEAVY fish..
