2 inch amanos

[Balloon Fish]

hey everyone,
going to be ordering 3 amanos with my cherry shrimps and the person i'm buying them from says his amanos are around 2 to 2 1/2 inches long and i am wondering if amanos are still hard workers at this age and is this the max length? i asked him for smaller ones but haven't got a reply cause i just e-mailed him. How long do you think they live after 2inches long? thanks

Supposedly they can live for 5 years. I've had mine for more than a year, they're probably about 2", and still work hard to keep the algae away (I don't have any in the tanks they're in, so I guess they keep it away).
