Mine like shrimp pellets, algae pellets and Omega flake.

According to the species description they max out at 3". Mine are 2-3".
How many do you have? I have 20 in five species. They like to be in groups. Mine travel in a herd in the loach dance mornings and evenings. Very cool.

Here's the species description.

How big is your tank?

Who shares the tank?

What is your substrate?

Decorations?

How often and much do you change the water?

All of these things can influence the size. If you only have one it may feel insecure. I have 8 oblangas, and they are always together.

Good luck.
