How Much Bigger Will This GT Get ???? Plenty Of Pictures

[jbru70]

I have read conflicting info on the maximum size GT's will grow too. Some say 8" others say 13".

This fish is currently 8". He is truly a Monster!!!! Thats a 13" pleco in the tank with him.

Under perfect conditions with a healty diet.......How big will they get????

Mine lives in a 100 gallon tank 48" x 18" x 30".

I feed it Hikari Cichlid Gold, Omega One color pellets, and Hikari frozen bloodworms

I got this one for free, but your's looks way better. Yours looks so bulky, bullish, and colorful. I look at yours and wonder if mines is actully a female? When i got mine's it was being feed tetra flakes, but i feed it Hikari Gold, and i've seen a big diff in growth and color.
