How Big Do Turbos Get?

[jasonrp104]

Does anybody have any really big ones? I just picked up one about the size of a clementine...it's amazing.

How big can they get?

My biggest is golfball sized, but I know I've seen bigger. I call him the "turbodozer"

The ones sold to the aquarium trade usually get to about 2.5 or 3 inches. There are quite a few that grow to 4 inches, though, and a couple reach 8 to 9 inches across:

I have one about the size of a golf ball maybe a lil bigger and a few others catching up to the big one they tend to grow rather fast
