Nice,in fresh or brackish?

I wanted to puchase one supposedly freshwater.
They had 4 lil'ones ,but before I found enough info 3 of them did not look so good.
Next time there was only one left....
So I ended up with choosing silverdollars.
But i saw one adult in a brackish tank at the Zoo lately and was STUNNED by the size of that fish.
Must have been 18 ", incredible!
Was that an exception or do they all grow that big?

Wish I had photographed it, you know how us fish-people like to oversize fish!
But when i get the chance , i will!
Seeing how great they look now, hope yours grow so big!
