In the aquarium, they make great foraging areas for shrimp, dwarf cichlids, and catfish. Another perfect natural "prop" to simulate the flooded forest or tropical stream biotope.
They're highly variable, but are pretty good size, up to about 7" to 8" (17.78-20.32cm) in length, with a typical width of about 2"to 3"(5.08-7.62cm), so they really can fill an area nicely!
