I haven't ever seen a female much over 4" - certainly my largest ones are about 4-4.5" TL, so asking for a 5-6" one may be a bit optimistic. Males get a bit bigger.

Richard: How large is the female I gave you? It was probably second or third largest of my collection.

If you are happy to come and get it, I can give you a decent size female, 3-4" for sure.

The size quoted probably refers to the biggest individuals seen which undoubtedly were male as these can get to nearly 7" TL (cat-e-log will be a SL size)

The female i got from Mats is 4" TL, with my male being 5.5" TL.

I don't have any way that I think will work reliably for posting fish, I'm afraid. And I'm pretty sure any reliable/fast shipping method would be prohibitly expensive. I'm sure you can find ones that aren't too small in a local shop somewhere for about 5-8 quid.

I usually give them away, but that's generally for smaller ones (unless I get some fish in return), so maybe a couple of quid.

Like I said, I'm not comfortable with shipping fish. The price for pick-up of mature fish is £2. Smaller (but mature enough to reliably sex them), I'm happy to give away. But again, pick-up only.
