I've had a Senegal for over a year and it hasn't grown any longer. It has gotten thicker but seems to have maxed out at 7" long. The long fin Senegalus I got from Rich a couple of months ago has already caught up in length. It grew about 2" very quickly.

I'll post some tonite. I'm a work right now....and working hard. :D

:D

I work hard too, it's hard to type replies on MFK and not get caught by my manager that always seems to be behind me haha I sit right in front of my sup too and she notices from time to time and says "is that work related?"

Some day I'll tell her "sure, it keeps me from quitting"

It looks normal to me, just fat. Even labeling her 'semi-sb' is pushing it.

How long have you had her? Is it possible she got stunted before you got her?


Either way, she's beautiful! :)
 
I don't think it was stunted before. Got it as a skinny little 5"er a year ago and it's lived in this 156 gallon tank ever since. And you say it's a "her"?

In that case, it sounds like it just doesn't have the genes to get 12", could also be that it's growth has slowed, and it may still inch towards full grown size in time.

An yes I agree with you, it is female for sure. :)
