It's the same with Frontosas. I have a colony that I've raised from fry in a 5ft. Tank. They are about 4 to 5 inches after a year. I'll be upgrading to a 7ft tank in a month or 2 .Yes, the freshwater fish that seem to go through this same thing are,
Oscars (Most people but these it little tanks not realizing they get a foot long.)
Goldfish (Bowls... They need 30 - Pond Gallons depending on the type.)
Common Pleco (People do not realize these get over 2 ft and put them in their 20 gallons.)
