Hello all. I’m looking for the largest reliably measured C. mono. Not something you saw in a massive zoo display or LFS and guessed at the size. I mean actually used a ruler/measuring tape on. I ask because I see a lot of people swearing by the sizes of 20 - 24 inches, but ive never seen anything larger then 15 inches in all my many years of fish keeping. So, measure up people and let me know. :D
 
My oldest mono reachs 16" (body) about 20" (tail) in captivity, my others mono only reach 10"(body) 12"(tail) maybe because its a female....
 
Alot of people dont have big enough tanks to truly grow them to their true potential, I think the 22-24 inch came from fishing and not really fish keeping

yeah pretty big! but they all look so lazy! haha but damn I would love to have that tank and those fishes! I noticed that he had a clock on top of the tank. Hmmmm.... I'm guessing that he must lose track of time looking at his tank! :D

U can compare with the grey stones below, their size is 30cm x 20 cm each module and my severum is around 6" length (body)

15" Huh? You must not be looking very hard... My mono is 12" and a little less than a year old. He still has TONS of growing left to do.
