Maximum size of female GT?

[Natalie]

I can't find any info on how large female GTs get. Are they significantly smaller than the males? Also does anyone want to share pics of their females? Thanks!

My pet store has a gt female almost 8in right now in there 40 long for 20 bucks.Ive seen males 10in so it looks like they are close to the same size just a little smaller.

A 8" lady gt is a big girl my lady gt is about 5-5.5" and is 3 years old i hope she puts on another inch or 2.My male is about 8" now and i got some good pics of my lady gt i like to show off the pair is in a 75gal.

are the fry gold or white saum?

Gold and silver saum females max out at about 8" or so but true green terrors are somewhat smaller... 6 to 6.5.

I have a 5 year old female Gold Saum who is 6”… has been 6” for at least 3 years… has spent 95% of it’s life in a 300 gal so no stunting…

I believe 6~7” is far more common for female Gold/White Saums… with 8” being the uncommon maximum…
