Smh i hate the min order policy but you may have just put me over the edge how big are they ?

yeah the minimum order sucked, but I used it as an excuse to get a small group of media luna labridens. Unfortunately they didn't do so well...wound up losing all of them. :(

The heterospilus were advertised as 3" and they were very bit of that if not 3.5"...and I'm talking standard length, not total. Most fish sellers I've dealt with tend to over exaggerate the size of their fish and they include the tail when specifying the length of the fish which typically leads to getting fish that are a little smaller than I would have expected.

I couldn't say how much they've grown since I've got them but not a whole lot. It's only been 3 months and I'm pretty sure these are a slower growing species. Next water change I may try to net out the largest one to see what progress they've made in 3 months.

COTA does have them listed at 1"

ARGH she is so cute! Jerk. ;)

If they are 1" I could probably make it work for a year or so, if they are 3-4 I don't know. I don't want to be dumb about it. If I had the big tank now or if it was happening sooner there'd be no question...

How big is she now? She likes swimming with your sen and lap. :)
 
Just delivered...10 little heterospilus from COTA. Man they are small this is going to take a looooooooong time.

Dont remember my female being this bland looking when i first got her. Then again i dont remember her being so small.
