How do you know it's 20"?

Also, T. mbu at only 20" would be either juvenile or seriously stunted. That is less than 2/3 full size for T. mbu.
It bothers me a lot that so many hobbyists think it is "normal" for captive fish to be smaller than wild fish. IMHO & IME, captive fish reach and even exceed maximum wild size if properly housed, fed, and maintained.
