Naz_Nomad Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 i searched on google but i got heaps of different results like 15cm , 20cm, 25cm and 30+cm. so i didnt know what ones to trust. I had the same results, but the majority of the ten or so sites I looked at briefly seemed to favour the 10 to 12 inch range. 15cm was the smallest example and was only on one site, 40cm was the largest but was on a wildlife site rather than an aquarium site and it is mentioned in a few places that they rarely grow to that size in aquaria.

vegemite Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've been told that if you turn the room lights off at night and hold a lit cigarette over the tank, they'll spit it out. Great party trick if it's true. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
