    ur possibly right..idk tho really, that may be in the wild they could rarely get that size.. i dont know a whole lot about them, nor does google...but the reason i got this fish was because it was supposed to be a smaller tang, like the kole tang.. idk, the guy i got the fish from had it for around 4 years, and he said it has stayed this size for the last 2 years..so who knows, not much info to go off of

    def wouldnt have gotten it if it gets 10"..even tho ill be getting around a 210 in a few months once i move into my new house..
