OK... so I've got these guppies... they're like Amazon women... HUGE! They measure 2" long (a BIG 2"), and have humongous bodies. They're gorgeous, with black highlights and yellow and black tails... They dwarf all the other guppies (female) I've ever seen. Is this unusual?

Also, their eye color changes from "normal" (small black pupil, clear or yellowish around) to all black -- frequently! I've never seen this in fish... what causes it?
 
Yeah, the eye color changing is normal (at least mine do it :) ). It might have something to do with their mood or light intensity.

As for the size, it's also normal. Most females you see in the petshops are not full grow, if you buy them and raise them out, usually they get 2'', sometimes larger.
