Mine was 16" when it died after a heater failure during the winter. I got it at 14", and had it a year before it died. So probably a max of like 20". Seems like it was medium. It's tail was really funky kind of reminded me of a baloon paroon shark in a way. It would only eat pellets from the top of the water also. Pretty fish, but shy, and barely ate. My big hybrid was always picking on it because it was so much smaller.
 
the only thing I know for certain about that first hybrid is it's definitely not what it was listed as. TSN x Lima xxxxxx definitely not! I can see lima there though. I keep looking at my big lima and the pattern on the back of that thing is almost identical. My hybrid in the pic I put on here was stressed from a tank move and you can't see the pattern, but it was spotted all over, and not connected at all. This one definitely has connected pattern of blotches like a lima. Also seems to have the same transition of pattern as an adult lima. Who knows though. Unless it's just a very small one of the same hybrid, but I wouldn't think so.
 
It's a cool hybrid, but I can't see the Lima in it :confused:
 
can definitely see lima in the top fin as compared to the other pic
