| They 'can' get to 12" to 14". But the average most common is about 8". It takes about 2 years to reach full size. And about 1 year to reach 7". They are said to grow fast but to me that isn't fast, LOL. Oscars and Red Devils/Midas's grow 1" per month and that's fast to me. My Oscar got to 7"-8" in only 6 months. Balas do need a really large tank because they are schooling fish. They will be more shy and skittish if kept alone and will not portray there natural behavior.
I really love my balas. They are my favorite fish. Always on the go swimming here and there, very active happy fish.

FAQ 
My favourites are my bala sharks. I have 5 of them. When I feed them they make this huge clicking noise. It is so funny. It sounds like the tank is cracking. They are very curious little things, inpecting the tank every which way. I've always read on how skittish they are but mine are quite the opposite, they are not shy or skittish at all.

fuzzy felt (aka evil kinievel) pure black
garfield (aka pussing boots) ginger
