Bear Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just a quick one here all. When you see the length of Angels advertised. And they say 6" for instance. They "are" measuring from the tip of the dorsal fin to the tip of the anal fin right? Or is it from nose to tip of tail? Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsright99 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nose to tail. But... there's 2 measurements possible. If you measure to the base of the tail at the caudal peduncle you will have happier buyers. Or if ur a tight@rse like wholesalers, you can give total length (t.l) which if you buy a 4cm tl fish, its actually 3cm with one cm of tail. so when you buy a fish if you think that measurement is its tl then you might be happier to find its a bit bigger.
