XXL Rainbow Wolf ( Erythrinus Sp. Peru ) How big ?

[IndyTexy]

All... I was doing a large water change of my Rainbow wolf tank. I took the opportunity to measure my little monsters. This was not easy and I do not like to put undue stress on them. However I am absolutley certain I have males and females of these guys so I wanted to document their sizes just in case I can ever get these guys to spawn......... big differences in fin extensions, coloration,behaivior and diameter amongst them. .. Anyone want to guess the length of my largest mini monster? His name is Beast..I only have names for two of my fish... I will post pics the measurement in a bit. Here is a pic of my largest one..

11 inches. Might be the biggest Peru I've ever seen. My peru was around 11 inches when it passed.

Here they are are not quite 11 inches.. Nine inches and growing for my biggest but very thick He did not one to straighten out for me... Slippery little guys.... These are all four of my Rainbow wolf group ( two pics of the biggest one)... The one that is around 7" is the one I believe is the female i has a rounded dorsal fin and much less orange. I think the 1st one may also be a female as the larger of nine " ones hangs out with it also chases her a bit as you see a couple nicks on her tail.

Very nice fish you've got there! They've got some really good size to them.

I like the lens flares from your camera. Really cool.

you are my motivation just got my four in today i want to breed them too, mine are so small right now so you have years before i can catch up. there was a vid on u tube about the rainforest and how the fish spawn down there they had gold wolfs that were about to spawn, off that vid ive found some tricks.
