Not all Cherry Heads are Dwarfs eh ?……Here is a New Female addition to the herd….She is HUGE!….Near 12” and heavy as a Mac Truck! A good friend of mine finally decided to part with her ( it only took me 2 years of bribes! ) A perfect match for my Alpha male who is also 12”…..( another whopper CherryHead) …..
Here the two enjoy a snack for the pic …… and for comparison last picture is these two CHERRY HEADS….side by side with a 6” CHERRYHEAD in the middle …..
I would never consider these a dwarf species……by any means, as some info out there leads you to believe~

Putting the smaller one in the middle really gave a new perspective to their size.

Yes ..... as most Cherrys seem to be in the 6"-10" range after 10 or so years .....these two are HUMUNGO! :p

I will be interesting to note (if these two pair up) if eggs are normal in both size and clutch numbers. Then if the young are hatched being larger or end up growing larger then the "normal" ones.

Jeff, how old is she? I'm starting to think that Pio is going to be a big girl too. She was 4 years old on July 2011, and she's almost 9 inches now. Scary.
