I currently have an Asian upside down, and love it. It's my second one (lost one after about a year - my fault) IME, they grow rather slowly. At about four inches the fins begin to elongate somewhat and really look dramatic. I've yet to see them over 6" but would believe they can be aggressive. I'm anxious to see mine mature and willing to upgrade it's accomodations as required.
