Luv the color.
Those must be the "ruby reds".
From what I understand, that's a lutiano red
I have one, she's great!

get me a ruler, take the fish out and put it on the ruler. even with this being said (i still doubt 18") but large public aquarium fish have the best of conditions and if left in for years, could grow very large. but i have seen alot of O's. 16" is HUGE. 18" is CRAZY
