they can get about 4-5 inches...i wouldnt put them in anything less then a 30g tank...the only thing to be careful of is that they dont take to frozen food very well...please make sure you do a lot of research before you buy one...

Not photoshopped. He has this yellow colourization that he turns on when he sees us and thinks food is on the way. It's always there but more subtle as you can see in this pic where he has just spotted us.

The lighting is also very yellow and I'm below the fish looking up so it accentuates his colouring.
