i see nothing but baby lima's everywhere. who has an older one thats bigger then 10" or even bigger. i wanna see what they look like grown. and if anyone can give me any info they know about them as far as what u feed yours, how fast it grew each month or how long you've had yours.
 
Here ya go, I've kept several starting at 2" up to my biggest at one point was about 13". I've got a 10-11" one currently in my 240. ~Trent

dont have pics but looks just like the one above. about 11". feed it minows
 
i have a full grown one i think he's 15-16" his snout bent upwards because he's a dumbass and ran himself into my tank, but he looks like a fat version of the ones you saw above
 
are you sure its not a sturio shovelnose? They end up with bent snouts alot more often and look similar. I've never seen a lima with that abnormality. If it is a Lima though it will eventually get closer to 2ft with proper space and feeding ~Trent
