Largest FEMALE Haitiensis?

[dogofwar]

Male Haitiensis can get to like 15-16"... what's the largest female that anyone has?

The female of my pair is pushing 12". Here's a (bad) pic of her with her tube down....ready for the male on the other side of the divider (who's about equal size)...

Anyone have a larger Lady Haiti?

Damn a 12" female is beastly. I don't recall seeing a 12" female on MFK but I'm sure someone has owned one.

Based on the photo, she's really white for a female. Got any better shots?

She's tends to be the dominant fish in the pair... I need to take some better shots but it's a hard tank to photograph.

Anyone else?

No one else has any big female Haitiensis?

I'm planning to show her at the Catfish Convention in early Oct. Last year she didn't place because she was "too small"...

Duane used to have a 12" female. I think she is still alive as well.

Yes, he does and she is still swimming. I hoteled the pair for Duane for a while. I had to keep the pair separated since the female would jaw lock the male with so much leverage that he would develop an injury. Cool pair. She is about 12" pictured below with the male and the last one is her solo.

Wow! She is very large. Both male and female looks good
