How big do Green Terrors get?

[sealife]

I always thought Green Terrors grow to around 25cm to 30cm. But I have read online that most will grow no bigger than 20cm in an aquarium. What's the correct size they grow?

Are they shy fish? Or smart and interactive?

Thanks.

That's because they do. The average male will be around 10-12" and I've personally seen one that was a hair shy of 14". Their growth rates are quite slow averaging around a 1/2" per month with a quality diet and clean water.

ok so the common size for males in an aquarium is 11 inch, correct?
