Dixon1990 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 How big do these guys get? I have 2 of them and i thought they had a max size of 5-6 cm but on wikipedia it says 13cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljtan55 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 13cm is in the wild and when they get really old... i've had mine for a year and a half.. and its still 2.5cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wikipedia is about as trustworthy as a hungry monkey with a banana. Sidthimunki grows to no more than 5 or 6cm (its entirely possible that the author of that Wikipedia article confused cm and inches -- 5in equals about 13cm). There is however a fairly new species called nigrolineata which does grow to probably around the 13cm mark, and is fairly similar to sidthimunki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljtan55 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 you're right coelacanth, looks like the author of the site i read prob mixed up the two, they do look really similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've had 2 for about 4 years now and they are both about 4cm, awesome wee fish, very active! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecatfish Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I find that mine are the best loach for those tiny snails. Better than shunks, yo yos, angelicus or clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
