I have a baby, he's only about an inch (pics in another thread). I got him at PetSmart with a few other Africans from the assorted tank. They told me he'd get 5-6 inches and he would be fine in my 55gal. But the more reading I do I'm not sure they were correct. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would rather fins him a suitable home now if he won't be able to stay with us..
Males can reach possibly 8ins. I had a few in my African tank, their aggression level was what i would call medium. I think you will be ok for quite a while, Africans for the most part can get along in a crowd much easier than SA/CA's. They are also a great looking fish when mature and fully colored. I say keep it!
