Hi there.
Great looking Pulchra.
And yes it is almost full grown. Some of my pulchras have reached just over 12", but most are at 10-11".

As for the pictures with flash, If you are using a DSLR, or if your camera has manual options, turn tank lights on, bump your camera ISO up to 800(ish), set a shutter speed of around 1/40 and f.stop to f-1.8 - f-3.5 and you should get nicely sharp(ish) picture retaining all the blue coloring.
Here is one of my Pulchras shot in this way:

The pictured Pulchra is at about 12".

Your pic doesnt seem to work.. Thanks for the tips, but I take most of my pics without flash and with similar settings as you suggested
Was just trying the flash as you can never get as clear pics without it. The pics i posted on page one are taken without flash

Sorry image host problems!
Here is my pic:

If your camera has a manual settings, play around with the ISO.
