Does anybody else have a hard time with it? I sold my indo datnoid about 2 months ago for 75$. I listed him as 8", somebody buys him overnight, emails me the next day and it turns out he's slightly under a foot long. And of course we all know about my monster bn ;). This is why I wasn't surprised at all when people told me he looks 5", he actually is standard length wise. With fins he is 6".
