yes, I actually had two in seperate tanks.
I don't have any old pics of the 6" one, just the smaller one.
but I can't post an old pic because the attachments are not fixed yet.

Mine's is already more than 6 inch easily, he came close and I measured him 7inch with a tape measure. Fat belly too! I've noticed he's switched from cleaning stones and now prefers going round sucking gravel into his mouth, then spitting it out. I assume hes picking the algae off them, which is cool! Lets see pics of the new flag when the attachments are up. I heard your barb pics are bannished to the abyss though...(not coming back) Mwahahah.
they didn't have any flagtails at the LFS today. but this week there is one more store I can try.
I have ordered a 50 gallon breeder tank for underneath the 65g 
it is 36x18x18 made by Miracles Aquariums (excellent domestic brand)- (they use black silicone only so I went with them vs Aqueon where I would have to pay extra for black silicone again). not worth it when miracles makes their tanks already with the black silicone. and they are well made tanks.
It will have 1 AC 110 for filtration and a 150w Ebo Jager heater.
lighting will probably be just a 36" T5 Aqualight Double strip - 42w total.
I don't have the capacity left in my basement circuit for fancy lighting on this one.
I am also planning on upgrading my planted 65g to a 36" T5 High Output double strip (80w of High Output light) for the plants above.
and the fishroom will be done in terms of tanks/equipment.
pics will follow when I get my camera sorted out and the board attachments are fixed..
stay tuned.

not sure yet.
maybe discus. its been a long time since I have kept them.
maybe a species tank of Filamentosa barbs.
not really sure yet. I just know the empty space for a tank had to be filled

I am having a hard time convincing myself NOT to put 4 turquoise or cobalt blue discus in this new 50g tank! I haven't kept discus in a long time.
tank has not come in yet, supposed to come in on Monday.
