yes i know sailfins get really big i had one for 15 years but he died at the beginning of this year he was 12 inches. the current plec is 2 inch but they do grow fast. silver dollars are plants nippers thats why we got the java hoping thats its more hardy. i have kept silver dollars in my community ...
