Yes. I think he was being a little generous with that as though.. I'd guess a 2' specimen barbels would span closer to 4' considering the width of their head as well
On my 25 inch L Pictus the barbels are about 22 inches long on each side.
Jags just got here. 1 male and 2 fat females, jeff said they were fat with eggs, they look like small little footballs.
They're beautiful as ever, I wish mines pattern would break up already
On another note, I purchased my Trachy from predatory fins at 7" for 100, labeled as driftwood catfish. They have something labeled driftwood catfish (no pics so idk if its the same) at 10" but for 250. I'd wait on a better deal if it is indeed a Trachy. If you talk to Jeff he can probably get one for you. Just send him a picture so he doesn't get mixed up. Sometimes the people sending him the fish mess the ID up and he doesn't know any better since they're usually locals which you'd think you can trust usually.

Span doesn't equal each barbel length but 2 barbel lengths plus head width. It is the longest distance possible between the tips of two maxillary barbels.
