My Aquabid HMs and an unknown *pic heavy*

[vilmarisv]

Yay!
I finally uploaded pics of my new Aquabid fishies!
I got a pair of Jumbo HMs! I'm NOT breeding since besides masive fins, I don't think they have good breading qualities from what I've read. These are fish for me just to ohhhh and ahhhh about.
They are MASIVE! I mean, when I read "Jumbo" on the auction I thought the breeder was talking about the fins because they looked HUGE! But this guy is easily 3 times larger than my LPS fish. (The second pic is of my male next to an LPS male) And the female is also a giant!
So, why did I get a female if I'm not breeding? Because my LPS doesn't carry HM females!! I've always wanted one and since I was paying for shipping all the way here, why not drop another fish in the box? Oops! I mean, "place another fish in the box".
I took a picture of my guy with his tiny bubble nest because it will most likely be destroyed today during water change UGH!

I picked another guy at Petco for my sister, I couldn't leave him there! I'm setting up her tank tomorrow and have offered to take care of him for her, I hang out at her house a lot. He was in a delta cup but I'm having a hard time figuring out if he's a super delta or a HM. I keep going back and forth. So, please figure it out for me! Pics of him are the last 2. Thanks!

UGH!!! So sorry the pics are so big.
After all that time editing my pictures, I uploaded from the wrong folder. Stupid, Stupid!
No wonder the took so long to upload!

OH my gosh!!!! GIANT HMs!!!!! Squeee!!

They are sooo beautiful! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get them for?

The last guy is defiantly a HM.

THANK YOU!
They are very hard to measure but I would say that from mouth to end of caudal the female is about 1.25 to 1.5 inches and the male about 2 to 2.25 inches.
This is the male's youtube video from the seller:

The male was $32 because I hit the BIN didn't want to pass him up and wasn't willing to find the patience to wait for the auction to end.
The female was $15, discounted from $20 because I hit the BIN Hehe!!!
I know they probably aren't worth that much but I really fell in love with this guy and after getting him, I think he's so worth it!

Cool! That little guy just doesn't look like and HM when not flaring. But I think it's because I'm comparing him with my marble Hm who has very strong fins.

Wow, they are amazing.

Thanks! I think they are suffering from jet lag. They are so active at night when my other fishies are already getting ready to sleep. And I found my boy napping this afternoon LOL!
