Largest and smallest Vieja species

I think most exceed 12" no problem but only Bifasaciatus , Zontas, Synsplium and Black Belts move past 15" in my experience. Not to say that they can't I've just never seen it. Seems like this is a loaded question though are you interested in keeping some and are looking for a smaller or slower growing species because of tank size?
Argentea, Hetrosplius, Regani, and Breidohri all seem to grow slow in my experience with them.

False. Male breidohri get passed the 12" mark easily. Mo had a large male some time ago, that was beautiful by the way.

I am relatively new in keeping Vieja species. I had a 3 year old synspillum male that hits 12 inch, 1 year male fenestratus at 9 inch, 9 month pink fenestraus at 7 inch, 9 month bifas at 6 inch, and a 9 month melanuras at 4.5 inch. The slowest growing Veija is the melanuras as it started out the same size as the bifas, but grew 1/3 slower or smaller. I haven't seen too many full grown Vieja species in LFSs except for Black Belt and Synspillum, and want to know the ultimate size of each species. I've seen a few Black Belt that passed 15 inch, but never seen a synspillum that passed 12 inch, including my 3 year old male.
