I have a 12" Lima Shovelnose and 2 5" Limas at the moment and they are great fish, I've heard max size is around 14-15" for them so they can be kept in a pretty small aquarium at least as far as shovelnose go. Babies will eat rosie reds and my little ones really like the feeder ghost shrimp I've been giving them. The big only ate live feeder goldfish or rosies. Prices are between $10 and $25 I would say at a tipical place ~Trent
