How long does it take a convict cichlid to get to full size?

[briang6]

How long? and what is their full size? Ive read 6in and ive read 3in. Which one is it?

Females stay smaller than males,but I would always assume that the convict will reach 6 inches.That is a extreme max size.

I had a male grow to about 5 inches and max out. The female was much smaller...

Now on the length of time for growth would depend on food quality, water quality tank size.
