Thats what they say, but I have never seen one get that big in the aquarium, mabe like 4-5". 30 gallon or bigger is recommended as a min tank size if thats what your worried about. If its about eating tankmates, anything over 2" should be fine for life.

ummm these guys get a lot bigger than u might expect there is no way i would keep one in a 30 for life maybe a 40 breeder if it was by itself preferably a 65
I really have to get pics of my old one (dendrochius zebra) i didnt feel comfortable keeping him in the 55 gallon i had he was just to damn big he now lives in 125 and pushes around a trigger and a dogfaced puffer, The the trigger (a picasso) actually ended up in the lions mouth during feeding but somehow got away
these guys may not have the wing span of say a volitans or anything but they get huge in the body i will try and get pics next time i go to visit him

It depends on the dwarf species, my fuzzy is 4 inches and I have had it a few years.

My antenneta got around 6" while my fuzzy is only about 4".

Most never get past 6". The radiatas though, will get up to 10". Fu manchus are the smallest I think. 4" max and normally less than that.
