Well I guess that's why they call it a poor man's Tig

He is about 7".

I believe the max size is about 20", maybe a little more.

I think so. I believe Juruense and Tigrinus look very similar at small sizes, and once they get bigger, there is an obvious difference - So Jurs could probably be seen as false Tigs. I could have bought either a Tig or Jur today, but my wallet and wife are happy that I went with the "false Tig"
