I dont know where too post this and i know this is a VERY easy id but fish like this is not my forte. it was listed as a Goby thats all. well any way i bought it. it will be going in a 45 inch long tank. i love it its mouth is huge. it ate a cardinal tetra a third of its length. how big does this get???
Thanks in advance.
Ps hopefully the moderators can put this where it should go.

a water cow is the common name for the fish you have it will get around 16''-17'' tops and can eat very big fish

See Oddballs post for name and size.

For tank size I'd say 75 gal bare minimum but I have heard they are more active then other gobies so possibly larger. Ideally a 6x2 footprint.
