They can get bigger than 10'' if in a big tank!

I think they only grow to about 10+ inches. My LFS has a few (3).

Saw these once at a fishstore in Pasadena, California. They are very very odd indeed and just constantly swim. I looked them up too and there wasn't much about them. Keep trying though.....I am sure someone has kept them. Maybe try contacting a good wholesaler and see if they know anything. Or try all oddball aquatics. :grinyes:

My main LFS had one for at least 6 months, $50, no guarantee. Then they got a second one in, and both sold in a matter of weeks.
