I'm of no help there.

I've found a website that sells archers and claim that they only get to be about 5". Maybe I will give them a try after I get the catfish settled in...

I have read the same things, but they are just giving you an idea of the size you will be getting, not how big they get.

Size and Lifespan
Archer Fish will live about 6 to 10 years and grow to 5", sometimes with exceptionally good care they grow a little bigger and live longer.

Same website as above.
But there's no telling if that information is accurate...

Those websites told about the same thing they all did. They get huge. But the third one said that they rarely get over 5-6". I'm Going to give it a shot after I get the catfish settled in. Worst case scenario, I'll have to get a bigger tank... Oh darn

Just got 2 "Black-Finned" sharks. Acclimated them from freshwater to SG of 1.002 over 9 hours. They're already eating "VERY" well. 2 Hikari Carnivore pellets to each one. But one guy ate 3 while the other only one. He has a huge belly, but otherwise fine. I Gave them just a couple flakes when I first got them... and they loved them too. These guys are the definition of gluttons. They seem very skittish though. To the point of bashing into things if I walk by. Hopefully they will settle down after they adjust. If not, I will try a 3rd. That definitely means a larger tank in the future if I do get another one.
