the only source i have seen that say giraffes get to 3 feet is planet catfish. Every single book and other website all say 18 to 24" I cant seem to get a clear answer, but from what i gather is that most tend to top out in the home aquaria around 24 to 27" Dont know if that helps. Just passing on some info that i have stubbled on in my own research of my favorite monster.

thats what i figured. planetcatfish has some crazy stuff sometimes, leaves me scratching my head going "huh?"
for awhile. Lima's tend to be either fast growers or slow growers. ive heard both sides of it. and giraffes are pretty fast mine has more than doubled size since i got him last july at 4" he's now sitting at roughly 12" maybe 13" havent measured, but has a great amount of girth to it. but i think you would be good with 100gal for awhile

wouldnt surprise me.....
people over there arent very pleasant people. stopped using their forums cause of the hard core flaming that goes on.
I never started using their forums due to that, I always check up on a site before I'll sign up and frankly I didn't like what I read there. I saw some people with questions about their cats and no mention of a tank size or anything yet get flamed for keeping a catfish that gets to a huge 2' (huh... huge and 2' in the same sentence? not here !! 
) come to look through the threads and I learned that the person asking the question about the cats had them housed in 300+ gallon tanks and for the most part knew their stuff )*edited* 
. Not a place for me thats for sure... I'm to confrentational I'd end up hacking their forums and shutting them down
