Fahaka typical adult size

[kzimmerman]

So I was wondering how big do fahakas usually get? I know the max size is 18”, but how typically big do they get? I’m looking for people with well cared for fahakas, with at least a 180g tank. Frequent water changes, healthy varied diet and dewormed preferably.
Thanks!

I got Alice when she was about less than an inch. She was in a 75 gallon and grew about one inch per month. Switched her to 120 gallon around 5”and continue to grow one inch per month. At around 8 inches, growth slowed down a lot. She eats like a champ 90 percent pellets and 10 percent others (snails, crays and shrimps). No issue w beak thus far. She is still growing but not as fast. Maybe half inch per month. Water quality etc is good. Have 8 Buenos Aires tetras and 4 tiger barns as roomies. Had platies and sword but slowly disappeared. There is also 3 BNP.
