Just Curious does anyone have pictures of a full grown Hystrix and what the biggest size they have ever had? Disc width and length?
Thanks
 
average disc size is roughly 14 inches, off the top of my head. you'll of course see variation in it, but i wouldn't think to a massive extent. i don't think they would get anywhere near hitting 20 inches, especially in an aquarium environment
 
Wow they do stay pretty small then. What size tank do you guys have yours in? What would be the Min. tank size would be for them.
 
ive got my trio in a 210 long. its an 8x2 footprint. its only them in there they are doing great. gonna do some hydro cycles soon and get some pups going!
 
one of my best mates aquaman has some pics he can show
 
How about some pictures:)
 
My 1 female is around a 16" disk diameter. I have heard from 4 peoplle now she is the biggest hystrix they have ever seen. She makes the tank look small and pics just don't do justice.
