For a Flower Horn Cichlid. Mine is about that now but if it is still growing I will need to get a bigger tank. I've been told that their growth is determined by the size of the tank.What length would be full grown? Thanks for any advice.
 
avg size is btw 12-16'', they should get full size in a 75gal tank. In a sense size is determined by tank size, if its not given enough room to grow full potential they'll be stunted, meaning their organs grow but their bodies dont (killing them), thats why when you have a medium/large fish (like a flowerhorn or oscar, pleco, etc) theres usually a wide gap in size info, 12-16'' is a decent size gap but what its saying is most owners dont give them enough space to grow past 12''
