Hey pL... that must have been at Big Al's, right?! My BA's also has 1-2 tanks of HUMUNGOUS females!! They were HUGE!!!! In body alone (not including finnage)... they were bigger than my biggest boy (Jelly Bean).

The ones at my BA's were mostly veil tales, though... but still beautiful!

Even Ruby & Rosie full grown now... are about 2/3 of their size. The last time I went and had a look... there must have been at least 50 in there (and tank on the wall couldn't have been more than 10-15 gallons.) But like you said... I was looking for nipped fins and couldn't find too much... that was puzzling...

Disappointed that you didn't bring another one home just yet... but you will, I'm sure, when the time is right! ;)
