Apparently they get to about 6 inches, ive seen one in the fish store near me and they were huge. One of them is really dominating and getting big now.

I have changed their feed from bloodworms to live food such as large crickets and crab meat, also snails which i have plenty of.

Its pretty important to keep the water changes up due to their messy eating habbits. when i feed them mealworm they sift the guts out of their gills and only eat the exoskeleton, which causes a hell of a mess.

Thanks grandad!

Normally genetic deformities caused by inbreeding but it can be diet related but being guppies in breeding is the most likely culprit you might even get some siamese twin ones!!!!!

Haha that would be awsome, although im not fussed about livebearing fish so i doubt i will see any more breeding from them.

Thanks alan
