Lady's tail

I swear it's still getting longer and longer
In this pic she's holding the caudal fins closed- usual resting position- but you can see the very tip has blue highlight.
Of course, it's still short compared to the glory of Perry's tail
Backlit- see how long his caudal extensions are!
Lady is still larger in body, and duller in color overall, than Perry.
Sometimes I wonder if she remembers her old home at the fish store. Does she miss that larger tank with denser plants and many fish to boss around? or does she prefer the quiet of her own space, and find it exciting to face off with Perry through the wall. Or is that stressful for her, having a conspecific right next door. I'll never know.
