Done a little searching on the size of these guys. Have seen anywhere from a 5" max to an 8" max. Does anyone on here have a better idea on size or have a few adults?
Some info says 4" is the max size. Some say 5" is the max size is what I've read. I seen some claims of 8" but one persons eyeball sizing at 8" might actually be only 6" I think if you raise them small feed them good you might get them to there max size of 5-6". I bought some at a small size 1.5-2" been feeding mine really good they been growing good. I hope to grow mine to 6" will see i'll let you all know if I grow mine any bigger then that.
Ive had these 3 for a while now. Over a year id guess. They jumped in size pretty good moving from the 225g to the 450g. They are in with bass over 18" so they are an easy 6". They get good sized but not as big as wide bar sd. Very cool little buggers. SOme rad breeding colors!
