How big do tsh get? I just picked one up for $20. I heard 18", but have heard larger also. Anything else I need to know about them?

blacktip said:I've seen a picture of a wild caught TSN that was nearly as long as the person holding them. Over 4' is a certain possibility and I have seen them in the 30" - 36" range at some public aquariums.
Here is that image:
Thats NOT a TSN in the picture its a Pseudoplatystoma corruscans which grow larger.
36 inches would be the average adult size in a large Aquarium.
Haha yea I was gonna question that pic too... actually looks a lot like a larger version of my rtc x tsn but yea they can get up to 4 feet given the right environment. But they do grow a bit slower the rtc's so you have sometime to upgrade (i don't actually know the size of your tank so don't backlash...)
Here's a monster....
