There are 8 of them. At the time of that video in 2017 about 12"-16" I'd say. A couple of the biggest 10 year olds died in 2019 and 2020 and measured 17"-18" TL / tip to tip (the Cat-eLog max is crudely 21" tip to tip I'd estimate):

Sorry about the disturbing photos - the vulture catfish tank mates stay true to their name...

One of the most skittish fish we have ever dealt with. Very hard to raise in a fish tank, much easier in a pond. Darts and hits walls at even minute visual or acoustic disturbance, such as opening a lid to drop in feed. Hence its snout gradually bends.

I read that they were introduced to Florida. So I let it go.
