4-6" seems to be more accurate. Fishbase and planetcatfish both have them listed at 10-12cm (4-5").

I never got one since I thought they always grew to 10", but finding out it is more like 6" I am going to get one for my 38g.

I wouldnt reccomend them for anything under a 75. They are big, and move around ALOT. Back in the day, when i had one, i dont think he ever sat still. They also like to uproot plants, decor, and re arrange your gravel.
Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can pay the rent.

Why not give it a try. If it becomes a probelm back to the Fish store it can go.
