If it's anything like the other species, probably a foot or more.

That's a very small fry in that picture, and I can't remember the first site I saw it on years ago, but I do know that a few people have ordered them and got fish that didn't resemble them in the slightest. You might make sure your friend asks for a current picture if he's ordering the fish to be shipped to him.
