    Default Measuring some Fish

    This pair came up at the last MDHA get together,and I was moving them,so I put the tape on them.They always seem bigger until you use the tape.Male is first at a solid 7"

    I grew these out from quarter size.The gist of the conversation was the fish always seem bigger then you think.you have to put a tape on them to be sure.I knew he was a big guy,but in the the tank,I would have thought he was bigger then 7".
