Its Pangio sp for sure.

The size information might not always be accurate.

example - Nemacheilus anguilla - its given that the max size is 2". I have 3 which are longer than that. Maybe I will see for a year more on how much they grow and then suggest that information to be updated.

Probably such information depends on general size thats seen in fishes available commercially.
