Since it has not been mentioned. Chancho. A fully grown Chancho is a sight, and appears much bigger given that amphs. are much more high bodied than parachromis. Mack Reagan had one back in the day, don't know if he still does.
 
lol, just the peacock bass doing the dwarfing!-)
butti's get about 18inch in the wild
seen 14inch pearsi

how big do the peacocks get 36 inch on a regular basis, cant find a pic online of a dovii or umbee over 28 inch imo.
