I wonder how big they get..

My guess is that its probably the size of a full grown A. commerson..12-13 in. maybe??

Cool looking fish, almost thought it was an april fools joke...
unfortunately the way things work around here, the fish will be in the hobby w/in 4 months and over collected to the point of endangerment in 2 yrs
