I have one in a 20 gallon tank right now, and have a 20 Long as well. But I don't want to stunt my fish, so I'll take him to an lfs before I stunt him....if I haven't already! Have had him since last fall....around two and a half inches now.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I will be unique in all the world..... You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

The largest species I am aware of is Chaetostoma milesi. I have caught indiduals that were seven inches total length. I would say that 3.5-4.5 inches total length is average for the genus.

20 gallon: Make it a slightly brackish tank. Add the puffer, ghost shrimps, and two mollies. You will still have lots of room for more mollies, guppys, and swordtails.
20 long: fast water tank. Add a powerhead and use the danios, otos, and amano shrimp. You can also have your Chaetostoma with room to spare.
The Golden wonder killie is an Indian killie that will reach 5 inches in length. A pretty fish, but either pass it on or buy a larger tank.
