Straight off the camera. I have lots more in RAW to process; tomorrow.

In their 600 gallon home...

Stunning specimen. I look forward to the rest of the pics.

Wow, he's nice. Wish I had a tank like that for mine. Did you happen to get any pics of the female?

I don't know about biggest (he very well may be), but coolest perhaps! That hump is awesome! And what a mouth!

If that's a 30" high 600 gallon, I think my dovii is as long -- not nearly as humpilicious though!

(I know, I know......worthless without pics! Must-have-video-editing-help----will-show-video. Check the other Parachromis thread for a pic.)

Reagan's may be bigger. He had an "accident" today with a 10" xiloa I sent him. The xiloa somehow found its way in his dovii's mouth. I know my fish would struggle with a 10" feeder!

I am told Spencer Jack's dovii is Orca-sized too.

BUT, until pics, Mel's fish wins! His youtube vid is the best!

After half an hour of trying to estimate his size we decided hes probably 18". Seems much larger in person though. Ha.

I have many more photos, some of the female I'll go through after work today. Just wait till you see the 1000 gallon tank with three fish in it!
