I have a school of 6 of these stiil small 4 to 5 inches.. but I saw at my LFS a full grown one WOW these guys get pretty big! The one I saw was like 15 inches long, 6+ inches deep and over an inch thick!! Beautiful specimen but shocked me at the size of the thing! even thought I Knew they grow to 14 or 15 inches or so I did not fully comprehind how big that was until I saw this guy. Not too worried as I have a 6ft X30" X 30" tank and a 1,000 gal + pond if they grow to appearing crowded
 
Thanks guys, this was one of the few chosen by a specialist being the best examples. I also have another one hit the 13" mark in my other tank! Love these fish!

How many did you keep together? I have 6 in a 72 inch tank and I love to watch them school and race around the tank. They are still small now 5- 6 inches, growing well and are not quarrelsome with other tank mates ( Torpedo Tetra 6 ea @ 5 inches or so, 3 Angels, a RTC, an Arrora Cat and a Black Ghost Knife 8 inches)

As the flagtails grow I will be moving them to the pond.. or some of them and the RTC also will go to the pond.
