Size of dianema urostriatum?

Size according to Cat-eLog is 125mm. Fishbase says 84mm SL. If the former is TL, then the latter makes sense... Any thoughts?
Edit: Scotcat says 115mm (which I think is TL?)

I've seen them at least 100mm SL and I am being conservative. I'd suggest that the larger ones are females. Perhaps change to 115mm females and 100mm males?

If you think they grow larger than 100mm SL, I think it makes little difference if it says 115 or 125 mm for the largest size. I just thought it was quite a difference between 84mm and 125mm, and thought it might be the usual "SL vs TL" problem.

I really feel I've seen them at larger than 85mm in the past, but happy to hear anyone else's comments.
