Thanks everyone, she will be missed. The "boyfriend" used to hide all the time but now he is out most of the time and appears to be more bold. I don't know if he started converting into female nor do I know how long it will take him to convert to a female but it will be interesting to see.

Need a replacement? Our Big Bertha has many of the same wonderful qualities that Big Momma had. Perhaps you should send me a PM after the appropriate period of grief. (Shhh.... don't tell Mike! He isn't the one who gets bitten so he wants to keep her!)
Thanks Kristy but I'm a little worried that if he has initiated the transformation that he would end up being killed by Big Bertha and there is no way I could save him with the tank being so deep and full of rock. I think I may try placing a 1" maroon in a fish trap see how he reacts.
