So how big do Dwarf Fuzzy Lions really get?

[progman2000]

Most online vendors have them listed at 7" to 8". Just curious to know how big they actually get. I just got mine two weeks ago and he's about 3" - I'd love to see this guy hit 7-8".

I had one for 4-5 years before I lost him in an extended power outtage. He'd gotten to 5.5". He was pretty big when he was fully extended.

i have 2 mature ones and i will have to measure them for u. one is much bigger than the other, but the bigger one is younger. i raised hime from the size of a nickle. the other is 6 months older(to me) and i got him about the size of a half dollar and hasnt grown much and they eat the same things

The smaller one is about 5.0 in and the bigger is about 6 in

Cool - so I can expect to see some growth on this guy!

I kinda doubt you'll see your fish get that large. 7" - 8" is max WC size, TL (total length)...take a good inch off of that figure for SL (standard length). Also, for a captive-raised juvie, expect about 75% - 80% of the max WC size. IME with several fuzzies raised from small juvies, your fuzzy will likely end up as a 5" - 6" (TL) specimen. Males are typically a tad larger than females, IME.
