G'day Rainer

Perhaps it would be useful for your agelist page if we ask RML members if
they would mind commenting on ages and sizes of the various species that
they have kept or seen or aware of - it is my general impression that most
of the smaller species eventually get to be larger in aquaria than in the
wild if they are well kept because in the wild the longer they are "around"
the greater their chances of becoming a meal for some cruising predator.

Regards,
Bruce.
