its probably 9" total length

NO way I am saying 6" TL to maybe 7". I am still extremely happy with the fish though he is stunning. and his bottom Trailer extends a good 1.5 inches back from his rear fin. Top Trailer isn't as long though.

Oh and he just started eating guys. Chomping on some Hikari Staple just to get him to feed. Soon to be on some Krill and Hikari Excel.
 
great fish man! still dissapointing that a reputable seller on here would do something like that to make some extra cash.. but, looking forward to the BETTER PICS!

Yeah $180 to my door and turns out to be a Sub Adult and he advertised Jumbo Male. I think he is just about 6" max. My Midas is twice his length and about 5 times his body size. What ever I have no problem with Rapps except over estimating fish sizes. Like he sold me my F0 Managuense at 6" and it was 3"-4" when he got here.

The Istlanum is little though. :( But time will make me :D:D when he gets 12".

not the first time i heard about the fish size issue... that's personally a big problem for me.
but as long as you are happy with the fish that's all that matters :headbang2
 
Nice looking fish for sure!! He might just eyeball the fish as they come in...not take them out the tank and bust out a tapemeasure on every one. By now tho he should be able to eyeball pretty good one would think. Take him out and measure!

misrepresentation? :eek:
that sucks bro... considering how much you paid for him... the least he could have done was given an accurate measurement...

Everyone knows to expect 1-2" less than Rapps says ;) And then when they show up the actual size you are happier ;) But this is common knowledge to those that have ordered from Rapss more than once or twice ;)
 
yeh a long time, if i was u id be peed off after paying that ad getting that..
