What's the max size of MOST aquarium raised Jardini??

[balton777]

Yes I mean the average size of a tank raised Jardini. And then also the largest one you know of. From the research I've done on Jardini's, it seems the general consensus is that they reach 28" in an aquarium. What I've found from personal experience is that website fish profiles are often giving the maximum size the fish can potentially reach and not the average growth size which is often smaller than that 1 fish that broke the record. So do they all reach 28" or just a select few?

So to recap, what's the largest Jardini you know of? and also what size does the average Jardini attain in the aqaurium?? Thank you.

Here's what I'm really trying to figure out. If I'm able to keep my Jardini long term, can he live in my 265 gallon tank for life or will I have to upgrade? It's 7'L x 2'W x 2.5'H. If it does grow to 28", that might be pushing it but doable right?

Mine was 22" at 4 years old.

How many people here have or have seen one 28"+?

Steve89 had an aussie that was 30" I think.

In any event, a 265 will be just fine for a very long time possibly for life.

Never owned on myself but have seen a couple that were near 30". I would think that with proper care that a jar will reach the 30" mark, how quickly it will grow is another question. I would think your 265g is large enough to support a 30" fish, sure it would be better to have 30" wide but youve got good length to compensate.

What do you consider expensive? I bought my last 6" Silver for $50. This Jardini cost me $100 but the guy threw in four 2" clown loaches. He had like 500 CL's he was wanting to get rid of. I really didn't want them but took them anyway. Now I really like them and glad lol.

Jeff Rapps has 6-7" Silver Aros in stock for $60.00
