hoplias australis

[Charney]

I have noticed that hoplias australis are available now. What is the actual adult size for these fish?

H. australis has a large range so I'd bet that individual fish have a large range of sizes. I collected what should be H. australis in Uruguay and I've got one that's topping 10" (from 3") in a few months.

Thank you. Is 10 inches full grown?

Not even close.

do you know about what size they get to? I am growing out a Lacerdae and probably going to pick up a black soon. I would be interested in the australis depending on size. They would go into a community 1200g if their temperaments allow it

We once seined a larcerdae in the Rio Yi in Uruguay that was every bit of 2.5 feet.
