I know we all frequently come here to ask these sort of questions, but in this case, I think you would get answers much faster by simply doing a google search and finding them. That is exactly what anyone here would do to get the answers. Cut out the middle man.

I believe OP is asking for max size in captivity, not wild. Google or any search engine will get you pretty much nowhere on this. Real life experience is needed here and what better place than to ask on MFK.

Well, hulon's ocell has got to be the largest on MFK and kendragons kelberi must be close to the largest on MFK

most places I find this information list wild size and captive size separately.

I want to know for ocellaris. Every website says different. A few websites say you can keep them in a 55 and up. Some say 180 and 350 but the most common is 125.

125 seems like it would be very very minimum. Bigger would be even better. They get pretty big and need a lot of room to swim.

Just going off what I heard. I hear they get anywhere between 14 and 18 inches. They usually achieve most of this size in their first year. Not sure though that's why I was asking.
