As for "how long do they grow"..... I s'pose for as long as they live.....

 

[fish are friends....]

In my opinion, it would be a tight squeeze. They grow to about 5 inches.
With good filtration one should be fine.
They go nicely with Guppies

You could add one to your tank.

No suckers. Mine go crazy for algae tablets, but not for algae itself. Great little fish, but if you want a small glass sucker, otos.

Go carefull with ottos they tend to be very sensative to water conditions...
