My GSPs are 6". I expect them to live into their teens.

If you get the fish while still young/small, they should make the teens.

Just curious but if your fish is 3" long, do you put it in the 2-3" or the 3-4"?

You get him out of the tank, ask him to stay very still, and measure him with calipers...then you'll know if he's less or more that the magical 3" in length

Oh, errrr...don't, by the way, kids.

I have two GSPs. Can I add the lengths together?

Sure, you respond with 2-3" since I already took credit for the 3-4" one.

My puffer's size isn't even a choice!

I think Mags has exceeded three inches, but she doesn't stay still. She's definately got bigger and longer than Robert this year.
