All severums can reach 12" but in aquariums often around 8". but then again you may get one that only reachs 6" like some full grown men rach 5ft where as most reach around 6ft. but its unlikey your fish will reach 12" bigest id say is 10" but rarely that so around 8" it will grow to.

your talking at minimum really for a normal Severum - Heros Severus or Heros Efasciatus - 6-8"
Mine is a couple of years old now and is about 8 inches
