G'day, I have a Red dragon Flowerhorn, that I purchased 13 months ago at 2 inchs. She is housed in a 850 Litre tank, and is now 8 inchs, and quite thick set. Just wondering how long I should expect her to keep growing, and how large should she get?

my buddies is bigger than 12....really really aggressive and the nochal hump is huge on that sucker...
EDIT: Well now that I think about it, around the max size, but maybe a little bigger, but it looked to be over 12". At any rate http://www.jeffflowerhorn.com/reddragon.htm is a good site to get some pictures and info, even make some order if necessary

You know...I'm not a fan of frankenfish....but some flowerhorns can be very impressive...if i was to ever get a crossbred fish, it would probably be a flowerhorn....I've seen some beautiful ones here in the Bay Area..very popular here...the most expensive ones are those who's coloration patterns/markings most closely match chinese symbols that are considered lucky...thats pretty cool!
I have seen 15" flowerhorns here in Japan, with huge humps on there heads but it will take a few years to reach that size. Also with these fish b/c they are hybrid you never know what you are getting so yours may only grow to a smaller size, it is hard to tell.
