Does anyone know from personal experience how big p. acei gets? I have seen a lot of varying information online from 3 inches all the way to 6 or more

The people who say six inches are right. I had one in a three foot 38 gallon for a little over a year before selling him to a more appropriate home. I bought him as a juvenile and he was 5" one year later.

Mine got close to 7 inches when they were mature. Personally, I think acei belong in 6-foot tanks.

Usual size is 5-6. Older males can definitely reach 7 but it takes a few years.
