I went to the toronto zoo yesterday and I swear they had a tank filled with congo tetras that were 5-6" long. Mine are about 3.5" long and maybe one or two of mine are closer to 4" and I thought that was absolute max until I saw these guys. They were at least 1.5x bigger than my fish.

Awesome. I've read the adult males can be 5-6" but it usually only happens in the wild. Good thing I've got them in the 125g LOL.

Is that a picture you took?

Wonder if there is any chance mine will get that big in a 75g. Down the road I will probably get a 180 or 240 so maybe in there it will happen. It will look incredble with a school of 15-20. I have about 17 right now.
