Need a pic for ID....personally "1 1/2 inches and all neon green" makes me think of a green-morph N. wennerae--look at 8-ball_99's post-page 2, I think- ("N. wennerae pics red and green").

N. wennerae.

how big do these guys get if you know..........

If it is a N. wennerae, they stay small. 2" max size I think-give or take a 1/2". They can be kept in tanks as small as 2.2g if I'm not mistaken. "Phil" is coming tonight, I'm giving him/her a 30g so s/he has more room and is more comfortable. (stil need positive ID to be COMPLETELY positive) They're around the same size as G. smithii I think...
