There are 2 catfish that look very similar. The Mystus carcio is the smaller of the 2 and grows to 3-4". The larger species is called Mystus vittatus and growslarger to around 8".

if you are sure its the second one then not to worry, it shouldnt grow much more. But remember, if you feed your fish alot they can grow larger than the sizes shown on various websites. Most people far over-feed my fish. I know i do on some of mine and im trying to cut down a bit but its harder if you do this to make sure that some of the fish get enough food.
