Venustus are very aggressive predators, You do realize this guy is going to get 12 to 16"??????? That blue peacock might have his fun now but he is DEAD inside 2 years.
I have never heard of a Venustus getting 16" I always thought they maxed around 10-11".Still too big for a 55 though.
 
A friend of mine has a Male that is 14" at 2 years old and still growing. He is a true beast! Honestly that is the biggest one I know of. I was just guessing at the 16" because of his male. The female is only around 10 and they just had over 300 eggs in one spawn.
