Not me, but I was at my lfs this morning and they had quite a specimen. Approx 15", looked great. Not difformed, kept his original shape just like the young ones. Was nice, almost black in coloration. They had it for sale at like 70$ CDN. Too bad I did not take a shot :)
It's currently housed with an equally humongus albino oscar...I think they came from a pond-type tank. Really nice fish in my opinion.

I have a dozen P. krempfii including a couple of albinos. This species grows to 30". Mine are only a foot long now.

i have 2 babys now but will get 50 inches.
I have 2 small iridescents ~4" in my 125g which are about to be transferred into my new 750g. There are a lot negative comments regarding this fish due to people housing them in small tanks. I personally love them and am curious to see how large they will get in my tank.
I have a couple I think somewhere between 5-7 inches cant remeber not mosnters yet though =)
