Not in captivity they round out at about 24" from what i've read. But don't quote me on that lol.....

were did you read this? they will get that big if well cared for...all fish sould meet or surpass their wild counter parts...

op...nice fish...it may keep that patter as i have seen some breeders with simmilar...base color may change though...
 
Very nice looking, too bad his siblings were not close by, otherwise you could have had a tank full... I believe at that size they are still schooling no?

in a canale most likely not...in lakes alot of times yes, but they are more adventurous at that size...
