Giant Porkies at Baltimore Aquarium

During my recent trip to Baltimore I stopped by the aquarium and in one of their massive displays were 3 Porkies all between 14 and 16". Seeing these guys at this size kind of makes me reconsider getting one as not being able to house one properly. Are these a different species or do they not get this big in captivity?

Double click image to see full pic. For some reason pb won't let me shrink in their mobile app. The yellow fish in the bottom right is about 5 or 6".

Welcome to my neighborhood Welch!

I love the Baltimore Aquarium. This might be reason enough to revisit it...haven't been there in a few years.

It's a nice area. Definitely wish I had house of tropicals selection in my area. Ended up cleaning them out of their flame moss.

it's a pretty good area. I'm within striking distance of a mom and pop place as well as 2 or 3 larger LFS.
