What would you consider the max length of a female trimac?

I have only seen largish females (tall, and thick, but not necessarily length-wise) on MFK. I remember a while ago seeing a board member (forgot the name) who posted a massive female that could be passed as being a male. She was ~10-11". I would assume that size is a bit on the higher side, and normally you would have them max out at 9".

The one that you have now is the largest female I have seen personally :)
 
books state a max size of 10" for a female but as said most are a bit smaller than that,males on the other hand i've seen at 15" and some say they can get 18" but i doubt it
 
Thanks guys.
Oscar guy- shes doing really well, she was eating within 2 hours of being in the tank. I think shes happy to get away from your male.
I know You got her from fish farm, do you know if she is F1?
Thanks for the good deal.

Glad to hear that. She always accepts food, even with the male around to bully her -- she will probably pack on a few, now that she will be eating without any worries :)

I am not sure if she was F1 as I didn't ask Ken when I got her.

Enjoy.
