Good morning you all

Sorry to bother but i have a doubt about , in matter of size, planet catfish says 10´, Aqualog says 12´/14´.
after all how much does this candy grows?

Bear in mind that Aqualog uses "total length" and we use "standard length" - the latter is "without the tail fin", which would make a difference of about 2-3cm on a 10cm SL fish.

(I take it your "apostrophe" next to the number is a centimeter indication, as in English it means feet, and a 10 feet long fish would be about 3 meters, and beat the largest known loricarid by about 3x)

Mine certainly grew to around 10cm SL.

I take issue with the maximum size of Peckoltia vittata being 10 or more inches no matter the method of measuring them
About half that length is closer to reality.
