How big should a male and female synspilum be at the 1 year mark with the proper diet and care?
 
Sounds smaller than it will be in reality. She will also be chunky too. Vieja are pretty active & fiesty fish, so even at 6-8in she will make her presence known. You can't go wrong with syns - some of the best color of all the vieja & middle of the road in terms of aggression.
 
Picked up a 4-5" one last May, he's atleast 10" now.
 
IME, in a year, it will reach ~5", a little smaller for females.
