I had some well fed jewel in the old days that reach humongous size, but it is not normal in the wild which rarely exceed 6 inch. I’m not impressed by the large size though unless they can retain the red coloration. Most common red jewel fade to drab olive if they are not dominant or breeding. The Turkana jewel I currently keep are under 4 inch, but mature fish retain the red color at all time.
