New Guinea Datnoid max size?

[Kelly_Aquatics]

Hello so I was under the asumtion that all dats got over 18" most reaching 24" (except for silvers) but I have found several sources that say New Guinea Datnoid only get 14" so can someone clarify?

Thanks!

anyone?

from what i read the max is 18in

 

[0wen_96]

14in is prob average

ok so do you think a 75 or 125g os ok long term? If I were to get one and I know they grow really slow so the 75g will last a while but is a 125g ok long term?

whats the dimensions usually 4xL and 1.5xW the size of the fish is good

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

125g is standard dimensions 72"x21"X18" so maybe a little short on width but not to drastic

 

[0wen_96]

its good enough then

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

is their anyone else with datnoid experiences that could chip in?

I had one years ago in a 100G (60" length) and it got to 12"

I'm certain given much larger (180G+) set-ups they can easily get to 14"+
