How big do neon jewel cichlids grow?

[fishieflow]

Hello guys, I have a neon blue jewel (hemichromis sp neon). It's kind of hard finding information online about this fish so I was wondering if anyone has an adult and how big is it?

I found a site in another language which says it grows to 4 inches (11cm) but other sites say differently.

The neon jewel is a bit nebulous, because a species of Hemichromis might be called neon Jewel in Massachusetts, or might be a different species in Texas, or Mexico, or Australia.
There are at least 15 species of Hemichromis, all considered jewel cichlids and they range from 4" to almost 12".
The scientific name of the species such as H. cristatus, guttatus, or cerogaster or etc, etc (up to 15), would help narrow it down, because different species reach different sizes.
That said most commonly sold jewels hover in the 3"-5" range.
