Royal max size

[hiplecoman]

I have heard that royals reach a maximum sz of 12" in a aquarium. has someone experienced their royal getting larger than 12"?

Depends on the type of royal. L027 have a max size of 16", L190 and L191 max at 12", and L330 max at 10".

I've seen some pretty big ones at over 18" and VERY wide. seriously.

 

[StiffMeister]

mine is just over 18"
seen one on pics of 20" tho.

Are you too talking SL, or TL?

 

[StiffMeister]

total, incl tailfin ofc.

Yea some real monster L27s out there that are 20"ish TL. I know you like measuring in SL Wyld.

 

[WyldFya]

I always do SL, I'm not sure why... but yes, 16" SL often pushes 20" sometimes more when TL.

Here's an old pic of my royal sitting on a 20" glass cover:

I was wondering when that beast was going to make a showing.
