Picked up a group of 5 x 2" Lyonsi about 10 days ago and since then the greedy little pigs have grown an inch!!!!! I have them in a 96"x36"x24" tank with lots of centrals,they gorge themselves on Tetra Pima and Hikari Carnivore pellets till their little stomachs are about to pop.:eek::WHOA:.

Was just wondering how big these get? Ive been told by some that they only reach 8" max, and also been told that they will reach 12".

Has anyone got a fully grown adult?
If so how big is it and can you post some pics please.

Cheers

I don't think they will get over 8", they aren't the largest cichlids
 
:iagree: I've always heard and read 10" for males but I've never kept them myself to know from personal experience.
 
I had them for several years. 10" is about right.
