Hi guys,
I'm was trying to research this fish, and I'm getting mixed answers as to maximum size. Some sites are saying 4" and others are saying 7".

Anybody have any personal experience with the size of this fish?

Labeotropheus in general are one of the larger mbuna, they do get 7", I've seen a store trade-in that was a little larger than that.

I've had a fuelleborni that grew from 2" to around 6" in approx. 9-10 months and was still growing.

I had them way back when i was younger and from what i can remember is that they get to be like 6" so with proper care and nutrition along with a good size aquarium i wouldn't see why not they could attain 7"
