I sure will keep everyone posted and keep pics going out every couple months, Hopefully mine and Steve_58 viejas will be some knockout fish?!? Got fingers crossed, either way will give him/her a good home.
 
Here's mine for comparison.

looks a little different from your new fish.
 
Nice looking fish Noddy. It does appear to be a bit older and bigger than the ones Dale76 and i have tho. I sure am anxious to see how ours transform now,lol.

Is there a way to tell the males from females by looking at them?
 
when older males get a nuchal hump females dont,keep us posted
 
When I went to buy mine, I had been looking at a tank with several 4-5"Viejas and I thought those were the ones on sale.
Than the guy from the LFS says that the big ones where downstairs.
There was a huge monstertank with a lot of mostly fullgrown Viejas.
The males where incredible.
I chose the smallest what looks like a female and she was still 10".
The males where bigger then the biggest O i ever seen.
