What is the actual TL of female sajica? Everything on the web says 2-4''. My female is under 3'' and will she get any bigger? Will my 3'' female HRP actually be larger then the sajica?
 
size will depend on individual fish either way HRP & Sajica will be able to cohabitat w/ minimum problems as they aren't normally killer species & 2-5 inches is normal range for both. the only situation would be hybridizing if you keep opposite genders together.
 
I know you said both are females but just keep in mind if you decide to get males of one or both species you'll have to seperate to avoid hybrids. Maximum size for a species is not usually the norm, every human isn't 7ft tall but there are represenatives that get that big.

Well my question is that HRPs are generally considered a dwarf sp. and the smallest of cryptoheros sp. Would a full grown 2'' female sajica be concidered the smallest crypto since female HRPs get 3''?
Also sajica are very closely related to convicts and are typically referred to the southern Costa Rican convict. Female cons typically get much bigger then HRPs.
