I thought they got eight inches too...conventional knowledge/info sources all said that.
Some people just cannot accept that new information has come along and resist learning as I put it bluntly

.I can't see your pic, but that you anyway.
I'll see if I can convince them otherwise.. for the fish's sake.

Still a bit OS, seeing as now this person is trying to add:
2 parrots, 4 convicts and a peacock eel to the mix..
Maybe I was thinking about jags??

JD can get up to about 12" (rarely). 9-10" is more common, sometimes less.
Convicts usually get about 5"-6", can be more or less, they're pretty overbred so I've seen some that don't get over 2", lol.
Jellybean parrots can get awfully big, I'd tell him to ditch those, especially since the others, especially the cons might pick on them. They can't defend themselves as well as normal bodied fish.
What's the dimensions on his 50g?
That's not really overstocked for a 50 long IMO, if water changes are kept up with and good filtration.
