These are about 7" with the tail, bought them when only 2", the tank was bare bottom so that the water change would be easier.
There are many color variety that you can search for, the fish pictured are the Tiger Snakeskin variety.
Fantastic fish!!! I have always admired them. Congrats on your achievements.

Brianrheffron - my collection started in college with a home made Movado replica. What site do you use to buy and trade on the net? I've been a little nervous using the net since some replicas are really good and difficult to tell from the real thing.

I picked up a Doxa last month - it's so damn heavy, that I can't even wear it all day. I'm excited about the 928 watch..did you see that?

I used to be into bodybuilding [until I had kids]...
I've always been a vintage racing fan. Outside of Porsche, I've been known to collect Jaguar parts as well.
Vintage computing... especially deprecated System-V unix systems.
Carving my own briar pipes... [nothing better than a leather wingtip chair, glass of single malt and a briar pipe]

Cool hobbies guys.

I'm into motorcycles, mainly dirt bikes right now. Lost of other interests, not a lot of time, but am happy that I get to spend time on the 928 and dirt bikes for now.

Damn Dave, that's quite a scope... what are we looking at, $20K all-in?

As for me, Photography is a hobby that I've had since 4th grade, I've been getting a lot more into it in the past 6 months. It's a hobby that mixes well with cars:











Two nice items I brought back from India...



Some of my current gear... a few recent glass/flash additions missing, the two film bodies don't get much use anymore:



I also collect antique cameras, probably have close to 40 now but not enough room to display them all. One day I hope to have enough free time to clean them all up and photograph them -- I've been procrastinating because I don't want to do so until I have a display cabinet to keep them from gathering more dust.

Other hobbies: Mountain biking, hiking, camping, electronics, dirt biking, video games.

Raced road motorcycles at the pro club level and when age caught up went RC helicopter flying, flyfishing, hunting and rescuing dogs.

I've also played guitar for a long time.
