Update - April, 2011: Same fish...now at 3 years in the tank. Tail Streamers now significant, although not nearly as long as N. elegans or N. literatus. Growth rate has slowed (thank goodness!).
Current estimated size: 15"-16"

Thanks for the update pic. in 2008. Do you still have this fish & if you do does it still look and act the same?
