Thanks Frank! I will suss out our space, try to find a killer deal and I'm sure he'll be in. He likes my fish hobby. 
Udon, Soba, and the Noodles

Beautiful pictures, Mags! Man everyone is growing up! Also Soba is thick and his patterns are beautiful. I definitely have a new appreciation for Macaroni(her eyes look really cool)....kind am also enjoying how she is shaped like a torpedo. Glad ziti isn't nipping too much, she's prettytoo!Well it's long overdue, so I figured I'd post some pics for you guys. They're not great but it's still fun to document everyone.
Current lengths:
Ropes 12" (I only measured one but they're all about the same ballpark)
Delhezi 10" - slowed way down in growth after about 9".
Teug 8.5" - maintaining regular growth
Moke 8ish" (She was bent so couldn't get an exact)
Polli 8"
My female rope is the thickest.

Udon the Del is the laziest. She is the only one that doesn't swim around in the water column on a regular basis - she prefers to stick to the bottom. I don't know if that's just her nature, or if that might change with a larger tank or one with less dense bottom cover. ? But either way I just love this fish. She is certainly the thickest, and the most dinosaur-like. She remains very gentle.
Also, with the WC Dels you can easily see (IMO) how they are considered a transition species between UJ and LJ.

Ziti the Teug is still growing steadily. She's still nipping at the Polli but it's remaining low key and without real damage. I love her maroon/yellow coloration. Still not 100% positive on sex. If I upgrade and she stops being a brat she'd jump up higher on my "like" list but right now with the nipping it drops her popularity down.

Soba the Moke - my only (non-rope) male unless the Teug turns up male. My slowest grower overall, but he is thickening up gradually. I just love the camo body coloration, the green head and fins, and he also likes to swim around quite a bit. Also a gentle fish. He loves to hang out with the Del. He spooks more easily than any other poly I have.
Note the rounded dorsal finlets vs. the spiky Teug and Polli finlets, and the squared off Del finlets.

This one is less accurate on color d/t lighting but you can see his whole body better, and obvious male anal fin.

And Macaroni the Polli. I think she's kind of like a calm Dory (of Nemo) personality. (*Derp*)
But she is active and follows me around. Doesn't bother anyone but apparently annoys Ziti. :/
I think she is CB the larger she grows - we were never sure because she was mis-labeled, but her body shape has that beer gut look more than any of my other fish. What do you guys think?

Very happy to hear that the gang is looking great and polying it up. And even better to hear that the upgrade is a possibility. Lol Frank is trying to push for that 180.
Thanks Chelsea!
I love my doofy sweet active Macaroni. She makes up in character what she doesn't have in looks.
I want a 180 also! We'll see what the new house holds for space.

I couldn't agree more, wish I did it when I bought my house. I just ended up taking out another loan a couple of days ago for repairs/200+ gallon fish tank
Seriously it's a good idea
