Until quite recently I had a pair of N. Aureocephalus, male recently died
and he was at least 3.25"  (8.25cm), he was a spectacular fish.  I
maintained them in pH6 - 6.5, the pair did spawn several times but alas with
no success.  Although the male was large I personally cannot imagine them
attaining 12cm (4.75"), what a sight that would be as they are a lovely
species.
