Max size for Flame and Coral Beauty is 10cm / 4” as listed in most places, but I’ve seen 4.5” / 11cm for the Coral Beauty and 5-6” / 13-15cm for the Flame. Realistically though, for those of you who’ve had these fish for many years, what size did they get to? I would imagine actually getting to 3.5-4” would be considered very big for both?
And that 2.5-3” is a more realistic fully grown size for both, at least in captivity?
I sometimes browse through the stock lists of some Asian retailers like one from Hong Kong called SeaLife. Largest I’ve seen they get in for Coral Beauty and Flames seems to be about 3” or 8cm. These are all wild collected. Don’t think I’ve ever seen 4”.
