    This is what I thought as well. So where the article refers to Ornata as the smaller cousin, it should say larger, correct?
    Always knew wiki wasn't to be 100% trusted. Just wanted to confirm.

    Well its not necessarily wrong. Ornata have the potential to reach 8", but rarely reach that size. Most only top out at 5.5" to 6". Cornutas can reach 6", but most top out at 4.5" to 5.5".

    No. Their size varies just like the full bloods. Some Cranwellies can reach over 5.5".

    So it's pretty safe to say that if your buying a pacman for size (I'm in to big amphibians. It's just my thing) on average there won't be much difference between say a Fantasy and Ornata?

    On average no, but if you like large Amphibians a Giant African Bullfrog would be largest in the trade.

    On average I would say yes. A female Fantasy Frog is going to be considerably smaller than a female Ornate, but a male Ornate may be similar in size to a female Fantasy when full grown.

    From what I understand a Cranwelli is somewhat larger than a Cornuta, which female Cornutas reaching up to 4.5 inches while female Cranwelli get about 5.5. Male Cornutas get typically about 3 inches, while male Cranwelli get about 4.25 inches. My male Fantasy Frog is just under three inches at four to five months age and growing, I doubt he will get much bigger than 3.5. Typically Fantasy frogs come out to be similar in size to a Cornuta.

    I'm giving rare instances and average not exact. All individuals usually vary so its hard to place an exact SVL on each species.
