Hi what is the biggest F8 you seen?
I have one seriusly big one, had it for 3.5 to 4 years and I was that size when I got it.
So now I need to know if it´s only me which think it´s big or if this is a comon size.
When you messuere them, do you messeure the whole lenght, etc from lipps(head) to end of tail or start of tail??
If messuering from lips to end of tail my is about 10- 11 cm, which seams to me to be very big for a F8.

Sorry I'm going sorta off topic. Has anyone ever seen an albino F8? One of my LFS apparently had one a few months back and sold it for a nice chunk of change.
I wish I could have seen it.

A Pic would be good

No experience with F8s, just wanted to mention that fish are usually measured from the tip of their nose/mouth/chin, to where the body ends (the fleshy part around the tail) and it's usually called standard length. Then they measure the tail separately, then there's another measurement where they measure the whole thing, with tail. It's quite redundant, and really annoying to do with little fish.

4" with tail is a full grown, on the large side specimen, if my guess that he has about an inch of tail is accurate.

I saw some F8's that I just know had to be over 3", they were so big I was shocked to think Harry will be larger than they were. I mean those boys were BIG.

Hope you're doing well Nick. I've missed my puffer family.
