wat i am trying to imply is, there is a limitation on the grooming process, it still zero down to the genes.
that could be wat he meant...

sorry to add in this is the picture after but cant find the pic before
i know what you mean, but there must be a limit to how much you can errrm... for lack of a better word, "stretch" the caudal. for one, the fish must have good HMPK genes.
